-------------------------------
Cheung Chau is a small island 10 km southwest of Hong Kong Island. It has been inhabited for longer than most other places in the territory of Hong Kong, with a population of about 30,000. Administratively, it is part of the Islands District.
Geographically the island is formed from two mostly granite lumps joined by what was presumably once a tombolo, a kind of sandbar. With an area of 2.45 kmē, the island is therefore "long", hence the name as translated from Cantonese is Long Island. Thus, it is redundant to say "Cheung Chau Island". The island is dumbbell-shaped, with hills at the northern and southern ends and the settlements concentrated in between.
Temples :
Pak Tai Temple - one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong. The temple was built in 1783 and completely repainted in 1989. In front of the temple, there are 4 pairs of guarding lions. Before the altar are statues of two generals, Thousand Miles Eye and Favourable Wind Ear, who together are traditionally said to be able to hear and see anything
Four temples dedicated to Tin Hau, including the Pak She Tin Hau Temple
Kwan Kung Chung Yi Ting, a traditional temple built in 1973, dedicated to the god of justice Kwan Tai
The yearly Cheung Chau Bun Festival - is a festival which includes a parade of floats, most famously including young children dressed as famous characters doing impossible balancing acts. It last seven days and attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the island.
Cheung Chau was the birthplace of Ms. Lee Lai Shan (born 1970), a windsurfer who won the first Olympic gold for Hong Kong in 1996.
After 2000, a number of cases of suicide (most of them by "burning charcoal") have taken place on the island. For some time holiday resorts were not rented to individuals. Stories concerning apparition have resulted from the news of suicides. In 2005 a local councillor Lam Kit-sing proposed a theme-park to be built in order to capitalise on the macabre reputation. Plans were subsequently rejected.
