Opposite to the pier, the fish rafts floating in the bay is Lamma Fisherfolk's Village. Here, you can see the traditional daily life and culture of fisherfolk, including traditional dragon boats, rafts, and dwellings. The village also features an exhibition with themed folklore booths, and family-friendly games and activities for visitors, including fishing, rope weaving and salted fish-making workshops.
Lamma Island, which was founded on fishing, is home to three different Tin Hau temples, honouring the Chinese goddess of the sea who protects the fishermen on the island. Among the temples, the one in the south to the pier has a more modern aesthetic. The temple was rebuilt in 2005 to replace the original one, which has a history of nearly 200 years and was destroyed by a fire in January 2004. It contains relics that survived the blaze, including an incense burner cast in 1826, and an iron bell in 1895.
Kamikaze Cave, which is located to the west of the pier, was used to conceal speedboats that were launched from here by the Japanese on suicide missions against allied shipping.
