Small island off Hong Kong offers haven from stress of living
Something clicked instantly for Zero Chan when she first set foot on the island of Peng Chau, a short ferry ride from Hong Kong’s central business district, at a time when she was feeling burnt out and recovering from illness. “When I take the ferry back, it’s like a cleansing ritual,” the former film producer told Reuters. “At a time when many say Hong Kong is no longer the same as before, the more I feel a need to stay, to see what I can do,” said Chan, who runs a yoga and meditation studio in her home on the island, following that first visit in 2020.
