Boat ride to Lamma Island

When I visited Hong Kong last weekend, I had an opportunity to take a boat ride to Lamma Island.

Leaving Hong Kong from the Kowloon side.

Many boats were at a harbor on the way there.

Lamma Island port.

This is not an aquarium, but the fish to choose to be cooked at the Rainbow Restaurant.
