Lamma Island |
|
Lamma Island is the third
largest island in Hong Kong and part of the Islands
District, Hong Kong. Lamma Island is to the southwest of Hong
Kong Island. It is 13.55 square kilometres and an estimated
6,000 people live there. Lamma is, in contrast to Hong Kong
Island and Kowloon, peaceful and tranquil, with relatively
natural scenery. Buildings higher than three storeys are
prohibited and there are no roads and hence, no automobiles,
but diminutive fire trucks and ambulances, as well as
distinctive open-back vehicles to transport construction
materials (imagine a driver's seat attached to a steering
wheel sans roof or seat belts, pulling a rectangular
box on wheels). The community's only transport means is by
foot or bicycle. Lamma provides an alternative to the hectic
life in the city. |
