Where is Discovery Bay and why is it a unique place to live?

The lifestyle living in Discovery Bay, Hong Kong

Hong Kong is such a great place to live because it is so unique in so many different ways. Within 10 minutes radius you can be living amongst high rise buildings and trendy restaurants or by the beach in lovely house.

Discovery Bay is only a short 30 minute ferry ride away from Hong Kong Island, we are situated on the same island as the airport – Lantau Island. I truly believe we have the best of both worlds, we have the luxury of a holiday destination where the only mode of private transport is golf carts and bicycles. The area is also known as delivery bay by many people as the population of DB is generally full of children and their dogs.

This is such a unique place to live where everything is within walking distance which makes access to anything easy. We have many mountains that are definitely worth hiking and a very close nit community where most people know each other! Each area has it’s own community, whether you live on a boat at the Marina or in a townhouse on the golf course you feel part of a community within a community. (more…)
