==Sok Kwu Wan== {{main | Sok Kwu Wan}} [[File:Sok Kwu Wan.jpg|thumb|Overlooking the fish farms and restaurants at Sok Kwu Wan]] The big street of Sok Kwu Wan consists mainly of seafood restaurants. Sok Kwu Wan has the largest [[fish farming]] site in Hong Kong. Tourists can barbecue and fish at [[Lo So Shing Beach]] which is a ten-minute walk from the village. The trail between Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan is surrounded by grassland and offers a picturesque walk. From there one can see a nice portion of the coastline of the island. It takes roughly an hour to walk the trail. Walkers may notice a few 'caves' on the trail near Sok Kwu Wan, labelled on tourist signs as 'kamikaze grottos'. These caves were dug out by the Japanese [[Japanese occupation of Hong Kong|during the war]], to store munitions alongside the suicide boats. When the [[British Navy]] reclaimed Hong Kong, they discovered rows of speedboats with explosives rigged to the bow in Sok Kwu Wan.<ref>Scenes in Hong Kong Following the Re-occupation of the Crown Colony after the Japanese Surrender.
