    Islands District Council Traffic and Transport Committee Document No. T&TC 50/2019 Improvement Works at Yung Shue Wan Public Pier and Yi O Pier PURPOSE This Paper aims to present the improvement works at Yung Shue Wan Public Pier and Yi O Pier to members of the Traffic and Transport Committee and to seek members’ comments on the projects. Upon gaining members’ support, we will proceed to the detailed design for the two piers and the statutory gazettal under Foreshore and Sea-bed (Reclamations) Ordinance. BACKGROUND 2. The Chief Executive featured the new initiative of Pier Improvement Programme (PIP) in the Policy Address on 18 January 2017, aiming to improve a number of remote public piers to facilitate public access to outing destinations and natural heritage. The first phase of the PIP will focus on the public piers in the New Territories and the Islands District. Yung Shue Wan Public Pier in Lamma Island and Yi O Pier in Lantau Island are included in the first phase of the PIP. The Committee was consulted on the PIP on 22 May 2017 and the members supported the projects for reconstruction of Yung Shue Wan Public Pier and construction of new Yi O Pier. 3. Yung Shue Wan Public Pier is located at the north of Lamma Island. Apart from the use by the public for vessel berthing, this pier forms part of the access connecting between Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier and Yung Shue Wan. The Yung Shue Wan Public Pier has been operating since 1960s. Even though regular maintenance and repair works have been carried out on the pier by the government and as the pier has been used for years, some sections of the pier structure have to be temporarily supported by steel frames.

The ferry is fun and quick and drops you immediately in the heart of the village. There are no cars here, or roads for that matter, just a narrow covered sidewalk that runs the length of a lane of restaurants. Kids will enjoy looking at the seafood tanks in front of each eatery that are filled with everything edible that lives in the sea. Live fish, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, mussels, clams, sea cucumbers and other delicacies are on display just waiting for their turn to be chosen (read: Eaten!). These restaurants are all reasonably priced (especially for groups), although there are some items that are very expensive (like spotted garoupa) so be sure to ask the price before you make your selection, especially if on the menu it 0-99 reads “Market Price”.
