LANTAU ISLAND, HONG KONG  (day 63)

LANTAU ISLAND is considered the back yard of HONG KONG. The island is twice the size of HONG KONG and has only 25 million people. Interesting is that until 1997 when the KAP SHUI MUN BRIDGE was completed it took hours to get there by boat. Now it takes 1/2 hr. by car.

I am trying to upload pictures and having trouble as usual so I will publish this and edit it later when the internet signal is stronger.

UPDATE...
OUR FIRST STOP AT A
