Wilderness with varied landscapes in this northern part of island to explore. The "emergency rescue access" of the Ngong Ping Cable Car is good for the prepared hikers and tourists.Linking San Tau village and Ngong Ping, this trail is one of its kind in HK. Cutting through hilly forests of the Nei Lek Shan, this timber paved trail gives you breath taking views over the CLK airport and Tung Chung new town. It is well equipped with maps and distance markers, but you may simply look up and follow the cable cars above your head. Not easy to get lost anyway. Those going for serious training may depart from Yat Tung Estate, walk westward along the coast then start the climb northward from the coast up some two thousand steps to reach the NP cable car station. There is a small helicopter landing field a bit further up the number three turning station of the cable system - why not stop here for rest and reward yourself with spectacular panoramic views of the area after a strenuous steep ascent. Or, you trek the path in the reverse direction, say after spending the day sight seeing in the NP highland. Time it right and you would enjoy beautiful sunsetting scenery strolling down the path in the evening. Much less requiring physically, it is therefore a very pleasant decent preferred by local folks and even foreign tourists. If making it late and getting dark on your way down, a torch or led light from your cell phone will help you negotiate the steps. Once landed on the villag, street lamps along the shore will guide you back to the new town.

Fantastic!! Short walk from the hotels/malls, gorgeous nature and magical butterflies, breathtaking views. Invigorating hike is basically straight up a mountain (stairs for a while, then the majority is scrambling up the hillside)— be prepared with some water and expect sore calves the next few days. Hugely recommend!! Best thing about my stay in Tung Chung.

You must try hiking there

Nice hike. Proper path with bathroom facilities along the ancient trail. Have to go off trail for spectacular scenery

My favourite place for hike sunset peak

Visited this place multiple time when I stayed in Lantau. AMAZING! It's right along the bus route to Tung Chung so it's super convenient. The views are incredible, hiking for days. A nice getaway from the busy streets of downtown and HK Island. If hiking and exploring is your thing, you gotta go here. videos on my ig - elialkash if interested

Had a very enjoyable morning hiking! Not very difficult route, 3 ladies, took 4 hrs and followed by lunch in Tai O.

Great trail and well maintained! My views were pretty terrible because it was very cloudy, but it was still and enjoyable hike. I could tell that it would be beautiful on a clear day too.

Hiking from Pak Kung Au to Sunset Peak, Pak Mong, Lo Fu Tau, Monastery, finishing in Mui Wo. Total 23 km, absolutely awesome views.

this the best places if u like relaxing :)

we had a great experience visiting the Big Buddha at lantau island
