Tai O to Tung Chung, Lantau

tung chung bay There's a fairly long (ca 15km) but otherwise easy walk along the northwest coast of Lantau Island, between Tai O and Tung Chung. For roughly two-thirds of the route, it follows a coastline that for the time being is fairly wild.

Lantau Island, Hong Kong

southwest lantau inc kwun yam temple Viewed from Ling Wui Shan, Lantau appears completely free from urbanisation. Nearby are waterfalls in steep ravines, a temple tucked into a wooded hillside, and even a Chinese style landscaped garden. Walking here, it's easy to agree with Financial Secretary Henry Tang's description of Lantau as, "Hong Kong's biggest and most beautiful island."
