Lamma Island is known as ‘Pak Liu Chau’ in ancient times, where foreign ships trading with Guangzhou in Tang and Sung Dynasty used to park, which Chinese name is later changed as ‘Pok Liu Chau’.  Until modern times, due to the island’s situated at the South of Hong Kong Island, and its shape resembles the Chinese character “丫”, it was named ‘Lamma Island’, which eventually replaces the name of ‘Pok Liu Chau.’  In 1964, the Lamma North Rural Committee had proposed to the South District Office of changing the Chinese name ‘Nam A’ to ‘Nam Ya’ (phonetic) but was not approved.  This route will only travel to Yung Shue Wan (Banyan Bay) with Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier as a start, passing through Yung Shue Wan Main Street towards Hung Shing Yeh Beach as destination.
