Last Sunday, I visited Cheung Chau Island. Unlike the bustling Hong Kong Island, time seems to slow down here. Everywhere I looked, I saw people basking in the sun and colorful buildings that reminded me of Taiwan. That day, I sat by the sea and enjoyed two mango glutinous rice balls. The juicy mangoes were delicious and brought back memories of my university days in Macau, where I used to eat similar treats. It was a pleasant day.

A signboard at the entrance of a snack bar with a picture of a pineapple and the price is 6HKD.

A signboard at the entrance of a snack bar reads “Cheung Chau Extra Large Mango Nuomi Ci” in traditional Chinese. Below the words are some pictures of glutinous rice cakes.

Two yellow stalls with “Sanyuanxing Holiday House Reception” written in Chinese.

On the streets of Cheung Chau Island, there are three-story residential buildings on the right side of the street and some bicycles on the left.

The red sign at the port reads “No Jumping from Ship” in Chinese.
