About Cheung Chau
Pak Tai Temple on Pak She Street rewards a close look at roof dragons and carved granite dragon pillars. Across the narrow built-up part of the island, Tung Wan opens into a broad sandy shoreline beside Beach Road. Keep the first outing focused on these places, leaving the more exposed coastal trails for a separate plan suited to the weather and your available return sailing.
What to look for
- Pak Tai Temple has colourful roof dragons and carved granite dragon pillars.
- Tung Wan Beach provides an open eastern shoreline beyond the island’s narrow lanes.
