Tour Information

According to the archaeological relics and Cheung Chau Rock Carvings found in the southeast of Cheung Chau in 1970, it can be inferred that ancestors arrived in Cheung Chau at least 3000 years ago. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Cheung Chau was developed as a fishing gathering and market, attracting many fishermen and merchants to trade and live here. Today’s main temples on the island include Tin Hau Temple (built-in 1767) and Yuk Hui Temple (built-in 1783), Reflecting the importance of fishing at that time.

The Qing Government signed the " The Second Convention of Peking" with Britain, leasing over 200 outlying islands and the New Territories including Cheung Chau to Britain for 99 years, making Cheung Chau part of British Hong Kong

As Changzhou is one of the largest fishing ports outside the Pearl River Estuary, the early shipbuilding and fishing tackle industry in Changzhou was very vigorous, with many shipyards and shipyards and so on in its heyday. In the late 1960s, Hong Kong's light industry was booming and Cheung Chau's small factories flourished. However, with the changing times, many traditional industries have declined. Tourism is now the main.
