Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island 10:30am - 6pm
The final day of the Hong Kong Convention will be reviving the spirit of Lamma Fun Day, with an entire programme of unity and fellowship at Yung Shue Wan, Lamma Island.
Various highlights of the day to look forward to include a beach meeting, mindful walks through the lush greenery of the island, an amazing vegetarian family-style Chinese lunch, and more.
Lamma Island, Hong Kong's third-largest island, is beloved for its laid-back, multicultural atmosphere.
