The population of Lamma Island

abstract

Lamma Island has 6,000 residents, most of whom live in the area of Rongshuwan. The north of Lamma Island is relatively flat and can be used as cultivated land. However, some people live in Stéphanie Sokolinsk Bay in the south.

Since the economic take-off of Hong Kong in the 1970s, many young Lamma residents have moved out of Hong Kong to make a living. Lamma Island, like other rural areas, left the older generation on the island. 1990 after the Hongkong Electric Company Limited built a power plant in Boluozui, northwest of the island, more foreign engineers moved to Rongshuwan, Lamma Island, where some western-style cafes and restaurants were built, where Chinese and Western cultures met. 1997 after the return of hong kong, some foreigners in lamma island moved away because foreigners needed visas to work in hong kong, but it still did not reduce the westernization of the island.
