Camping on Tung Peng Chau

Tung Peng Chau is the island furthest to the East of Hong Kong. A ferry ride away, it's un-inhabited from Monday to Friday, with boats only making the trip at the weekends. We were the only campers on this occasion and it seemed a bit creepy. The island can be walked around in a few hours, and has some spectacular rock formations along the coast.


This was the first timke we'd used all our camping gear and didn't do too badly - smoked salmon for dinner followed by Thai curry washed down with a good bottle of wine. I've still never worked out how the self-inflating pillows work. After dinner we played back-gammon by the gas lamp until the early hours. Throughout the night speed-boats raced by - no doubt thge big powerful four-engined boats used for smuggling goods in and out of ther mainland.
