Much more than a teahouse, Herboland

{{taRatingReviewTotal}} {{taRatingReviewText}} Address {{address}} Website {{website}} More info is Lamma Island's first organic herb farm tucked among the trees behind Hung Shing Yeh Beach. Stroll among the fragrant rosemary and verbena plants, sip a cup of herbal tea — there are 40 varieties available in the tea garden — and soak up some nature while enjoying the company of the farm's rabbits and parrots, or purchase some fresh herbs or handmade soaps to take home. The farm also runs events such as soap-making classes and tours.
Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant

Occasional ferries depart from Aberdeen and Stanley on Hong Kong Island’s south side, or arrive by private or chartered junk. Once there, feast on seaweed soup with egg and dried shrimp, deep-fried freshly caught squid with salt, pepper and garlic, and other Chinese dishes at affordable prices while relaxing on the restaurant's rustic wooden deck. Wash it all down with a bottle of beer or two. Remember to book your seats in advance.

It gets packed on sunny days and holidays so be sure to book ahead, or go for breakfast at the weekend.
