Lantau Island Exploration Guide: Scenic Trails and Transportation Tips

🌟 Diverse Transportation Options Starting from the city, you can take the MTR Tung Chung Line directly to Tung Chung Station and transfer to the Ngong Ping 360 cable car (approximately 25 minutes one-way) for a panoramic view of the mountains and sea. Alternatively, take a ferry from Central Pier 6 to Mui Wo (fast ferry takes 35 minutes) to enjoy the journey from Victoria Harbor to the outlying islands. For those driving, access via the Tsing Ma Bridge is available, and within the island, it is recommended to use New Lantau Bus or blue taxis (starting fare HK$13) to travel between attractions. 🗺 Classic Route Recommendations 1. Cultural Highlights Route: Tung Chung Station → Ngong Ping Village (via cable car) → Tian Tan Buddha → Po Lin Monastery → Wisdom Path. This route takes about 4 hours and is ideal for a half-day trip. 2. Nature Discovery Route: Mui Wo Pier → Silvermine Bay → Trappist Monastery → Discovery Bay. A 6-kilometer hiking trail combining mountain and sea views, ending at a European-style beach. 3. In-Depth Experience Route: Shek Pik Reservoir → Fan Lau Fort → Tai O Fishing Village. A 16-kilometer hiking route showcasing the stunning sunset views at Hong Kong's westernmost point. ✨ Must-See Highlights and Tips - Ngong Ping Cable Car's "Crystal Cabin" features a transparent floor for a thrilling experience. Book online to skip the queue. - At Tai O, try the charcoal-grilled shrimp paste squid and take a boat ride at dusk to spot Chinese white dolphins (due to ecological sensitivity, viewing from a distance is recommended). - Discovery Bay's Tai Pak Beach boasts Hong Kong's largest beach playground, making it a top choice for family outings. 💡 Smart Tips - Ngong Ping Cable Car offers free admission to its exhibition hall on Wednesdays, avoiding weekend crowds. - Lantau Island buses have a 60% fare increase on Sundays; use Octopus cards and carry cash. - During the Qingming Festival in 2025, certain sections of Tung Chung Road will be open; drivers should check Transport Department announcements. As Hong Kong's largest outlying island, Lantau Island offers a diverse travel experience with the solemnity of Tian Tan Buddha, the charm of Tai O Fishing Village, and the exotic vibes of Discovery Bay. Come and unlock its wonders yourself!
