	A visit to Cheung Chau
		Cheung Chau, a popular destination for Hong Kongers and our favorite of all the islands, is accessible both via "Fast Ferry" for HK$32 (US$1 is approximately HK$8) or Ordinary Ferry which offers second class seats for HK$16 and first class for HK$26.
		Cheung Chau is a charming old fishing community where motor vehicles are prohibited.
		The United Nations has now declared the Pearl River estuary, where both Macau and HK are located, a "dead zone." So, perhaps Cheung Chau residents have taken this gloomy news to heart and are looking for other means of income with tourism as an obvious and likely vehicle.

	Cheung Chau Bun
		The annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival, which takes place from April 27 to May 4 this year, is one of Hong Kong's most fascinating and colorful celebrations.

		It was once the custom for the young men of Cheung Chau to scramble up the towers at the stroke of midnight on the last day of the festival (once the ghosts had partaken of the spiritual essence of the food) and distribute the lucky buns to the eagerly awaiting crowd.
