Ma Chau! It is an remote island under the southern part of Lantau, and is one of the satellite island of Soko Island Group.

For individuals:
We took a dinghi from Tong Fuk Beach to get on our sailboat to sail to Ma Chau.
Look! There is Ma Chau!

We tried to clean the beach on Ma Chau. We filled up 5 bags with trash in just 30 min.
