==Geography== Lamma Island is located to the southwest of [[Hong Kong Island]]. It is the third largest [[List of islands and peninsulas of Hong Kong|island of Hong Kong]], with an area of {{convert|13.55|km2|abbr=on}}<ref>Survey and Mapping Office, Lands Department: [http://www.landsd.gov.hk/mapping/en/publications/hk_geographic_data_sheet.pdf Hong Kong geographic data sheet]</ref> and a length of {{convert|7|km|mi}}. The northern village is called [[Yung Shue Wan]] ([[Banyan]] Tree Bay) and the eastern village is called [[Sok Kwu Wan]] ([[Rainbow]] Bay, literally Cable Fishing Net Bay). Few people live on the southern part of Lamma. Access for much of this part is by hiking or private boat. Beaches along Lamma's south-facing edge include Yung Shue Ha Beach and Sham Wan. [[Mount Stenhouse]] ({{zh|t=ε±±ε°ε‘|labels=no}}, Shan Tei Tong) is the tallest mountain in Lamma at {{convert|353|m|ft|abbr=off}} [[above sea level]], situated between Sok Kwu Wan and Sham Wan. Unusually shaped rocks can be found all over this mountain, but a grueling hike is necessary to access these. <gallery widths="200px" heights="160px"> File:mtstenhouse.jpg|Example of a naturally formed rock found near the summit of Mt.
