Episode 153 - Long Island from the Great Wall

This photo was taken from the "Little Great Wall" of Cheung Chau. The Little Great Wall is a well paved uphill path along which the tourists can have a close look at various weathered granite.

The photo shows the two main beaches of the Island. The one on the right side is "Tung Wan" (literally the East Beach). Tung Wan is a good place for swimming. The sand is smooth and the gradient is gentle. The water quality is good. It is classified as a Grade One beach. The one on the left is "Kwun Yum Beach" (literally the Beach of the Bodhisattva of Compassion). It is the place where Hong Kong's first Olympic medalist Li Lai Shan practised windsurfing when she was young. The circular object which runs into the sea is a helicopter platform. Next to it is the Windsurfer cafe owned by Lai Kan.
