Highlights: The blend of nature, culture, history, and local life make this Lamma Island tour unique Did you know? “Hong Kong” is the anglicised version of the Cantonese “heung gong”, meaning “fragrant harbour”. When the British first arrived in the 1830’s, the logs of which incense sticks were made, were brought down from southern China to what is now Ap Lei Chau, and stored here, awaiting export, creating a pleasant smell. Hence the name “fragrant harbor”.
