*** Local Caption *** Sok Kwu Wan (Picnic Bay), in Lamma Island. Picnic Bay is voluminous with floating fish and shrimp farms, all tended by fleets of assorted boats. Hong Kong attains most of its fresh seafood produce here. Lamma, third largest of the outlying islands, is, in contrast to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, peaceful and tranquil, with relatively natural scenery. Buildings higher than three floors are prohibited and there are no roads and hence, no automobiles. The community's only transport means is by foot or bicycle. Lamma provides an alternative to the hectic life in the city. Property values and rental costs are also very cheap compared with those of central Hong Kong. It is also popular with younger people and a haven for artists, cartoonists and musicians.
