Editing Lamma Island (section)

==Description==
In contrast to Hong Kong Island and [[Kowloon]], Lamma is peaceful and tranquil with an abundance of natural scenery. Buildings higher than three storeys are prohibited and there are no automobiles but diminutive fire trucks and ambulances, as well as [[village vehicle]]s; distinctive open-back vehicles to transport construction materials. The community's only means of transport is either by foot or bicycle.

Lamma provides an alternative to the hectic life in the city. Property and rents are cheap compared with those of central Hong Kong. These factors have attracted a significant [[expatriate]] community to Lamma Island. It is also popular with younger people and a haven for artists and musicians.
