[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cheung Chau has always been one of our favourite destinations for the S.3 unit \u201cOur Home Hong Kong\u201d. Over the years, we have explored various locations such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Sai Kung, Stanley, Tai O, Lamma Island, the Peak, and even the Big Buddha. Yet, out of all of them, nothing was quite like the experience students and teachers discovered and enjoyed in Cheung Chau.<\/p>\n

During this field trip, our main objective was to help students discover the charm of this historic fishing village and understand its appeal to modern-day travellers. Students worked in groups to explore different attractions, capturing photos and videos while creating lasting memories with their friends.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this trip also revealed unique aspects about our students. Personally, I discovered that two of our S.3 students had relatives living on the island. They have had many visits to the island and have attended multiple Bun Festival celebrations. You\u2019d think they would have been childhood best friends or even relatives. It was surprising to learn that they did not know each other at the school. It truly emphasises the mysterious ways in which fate connects us. Having these students, who were practically \u201clocals\u201d from the island, as our guides was a blessing, as they led us to some of the best shops and attractions.<\/p>\n

Another teacher had an amusing encounter that shed light on the different perspectives our students can have. When tasked with photographing the island\u2019s mini-city service vehicles, the students captured images of actual miniature toy city service cars and even bought one as a souvenir for us. It certainly gave us a good laugh.<\/p>\n

For us, we have been to Cheung Chau many times. For the \u2018two practically locals\u2019, an endless number of trips to the island made it a-walk-in-the-neighbourhood. But among the rest of the students, many experienced their first trip to this well-established island.<\/p>\n

Was this trip worth it? Absolutely! Otherwise, we couldn\u2019t truly claim it as a part of our unit on \u201cOur\u00a0Home: Hong Kong\u201d.<\/p>\n

During our eventful trip to Cheung Chau, my group had an unforgettable day.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving at the Cheung Chau pier, the teachers took us on a quick tour. However, our\u00a0group got distracted by two adorable cats, which led to us getting stranded in the middle of\u00a0the road, capturing countless photos. Eventually, we caught up with our classmates at one of\u00a0the famous attractions.<\/p>\n

This amusing incident marked a \u201clovely\u201d start to our special trip.<\/p>\n

Our first planned location was the Tin Hau Temple, conveniently located next to the Island\u00a0Workbench Caf\u00e9. After taking some snapshots of the temple and enjoying a lunch that was\u00a0definitely not typical of Cheung Chau, we decided to indulge in some of the island\u2019s special\u00a0mango mochi. The sweet and chewy texture combined with the melt-in-your-mouth mango\u00a0filling was simply delightful. Just next door, we found another popular shop selling THE BIG\u00a0fish balls. While the taste remained like regular fish balls found on the street, their size added\u00a0a unique element to the experience. Taking one big bite was truly satisfying.<\/p>\n

However, not every story is perfect, and our group encountered a minor disagreement\u00a0regarding our time schedule. Despite the sudden argument, we managed to find a mutual\u00a0solution that satisfied everyone’s needs. After what felt like ages hiking up the trail to The\u00a0Cheung Po Tsai Cave, we were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the vast expanse of\u00a0open water. With few tourists in sight, we caught a glimpse of the peaceful and simplistic\u00a0lifestyle of Cheung Chau. The sound of the ocean waves crashing against the nearby rocks\u00a0created a soothing ambiance. As we made our way back to the pier, we carried with us a\u00a0sense of fulfillment, a tranquil state of mind, and a deep appreciation for our friendships.<\/p>\n

Cheung Chau will forever hold a special place in our hearts after this trip. From its vibrant\u00a0atmosphere to its awe-inspiring sights, we returned with a memorable experience of a\u00a0lifetime.<\/p>\n

On December 7th December, at 10:30 am, our group arrived at Cheung Chau. Our first stop\u00a0was the Yuk Hui Temple, also known as Pak Tai Temple. As we approached, we were greeted\u00a0by four majestic stone lions guarding the entrance. Inside, a large statue of the deity stood\u00a0prominently, while visitors worshipped and paid their respects. After our visit, we returned to
\nthe pier and embarked on our independent exploration of Cheung Chau.<\/p>\n

Our next destination was Cheung Po Tsai Cave, the first viewpoint on our list. It took us\u00a0approximately 22 minutes to walk there from the pier, and by the time we arrived, our legs\u00a0were already exhausted. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side as we encountered a long\u00a0queue of people waiting to enter the cave. Considering the time constraints, we made the\u00a0decision to capture footage in front of the cave instead of waiting for our turn.<\/p>\n

Feeling hungry and tired after the hike, we decided to take a break and have lunch. Once we\u00a0were refuelled, we adjusted our plans and headed to Tung Wan Beach instead of Kwun Yam\u00a0Beach, as it was closer and more convenient. Before reaching our final viewpoint, the Lock\u00a0of Love Market, we worked on one of our tasks for the vlog. The market was filled with\u00a0numerous locks, creating an interesting sight for couples. We purchased some souvenirs and\u00a0captured the last part of our footage.<\/p>\n

By 2:00 pm, it was time to gather at the designated meeting place. Throughout this journey, I\u00a0had the opportunity to explore various viewpoints, learn about the island\u2019s history, and\u00a0witness its breathtaking beauty. The day trip provided me with cherished memories,\u00a0particularly the joyous moments shared with my classmates in Cheung Chau. I hope that in\u00a0the future, we will have another chance to visit and discover even more stunning views in this\u00a0remarkable place.<\/p>\n
