Urban Escape - Lamma Island

I would like to introduce some ways for urban escape, for instance, Lamma Island. It is isolated island which many foreigners resided. Many shops around  sell hand made dedicated products.

The fascinating dawn of the sun is quite impressive. Everyone should watch this everlasting scene as it is really fantastic 

                                                                                         

When we arrived there around 3pm, after taking photo upon arrival, We were heading to find a nice place for lunch. Book Worm Cafe is cosy restaurant which mainly provided vegetarian food. Those dishes are delicious, are organic produced. I would highly recommend this cafe for tourists. You can simply order some light food and read books for couples of hours. It seems so relaxing and hard to find in Hong Kong elsewhere. And then, the famous Sweet To Fu Dessert was a must try item for foodie. It was greatly appreciated by Michelin Guide, which was regarded as bible for foodie searching food. In fact, it tastes like a sweetie and soft tofu with rich tofu flavor, especially merges with secret method of yellow sugar. I would say it is particular Hong Kong desserts which should introduce to tourists coming from all over the world. However, the imperfect of this experience, is it located outdoor without the provision of air conditioner. You would feel a little bit hot and sweating in summer time.
