Lamma Winds
Lamma Winds (南丫風采發電站) is an experimental wind turbine in Tai Ling, Lamma Island, Hong Kong. The site was chosen for its relatively strong average wind and its proximity to the existing power lines linking the Lamma Power Station with Hong Kong Island. It produces on average 100 kW of power.
Lamma Winds is meant to be a demonstration project, and as such one of the few commercial-scale wind turbines in the world that is open to the public. An exhibition centre surrounds the base of the wind turbine, and is open daily from 7 AM to 6 PM, including weekends and holidays. Access to the exhibition center is by foot; the walk from Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier takes about 40 minutes.

For the more adventurous travellers we can climb Ling Kok Shan and visit some old Japanese-built wartime tunnels, that are now very well hidden in the countryside (in this case the tour will be longer).
Many departure times possible, also afternoon departures are an option. Please contact me for details. There is a lot to see on this island, and tours can be expanded.
Price includes guide fee.
Extra cost: taxi your hotel to ferry pier and back, lunch, ferry tickets (about HKD 80 per person).
