Essentials about Lantau Peak in brief

Among other things, hiking enthusiasts are recommended to climb Lantau Peak in Hong Kong. With a height of 934 meters, the mountain is the highest elevation on the island of the same name Lantau and the second highest elevation of Hong Kong as a whole. From the top of Lantau Peak you can enjoy a magnificent view of Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s international airport and the South China Sea.

The ascent to Lantau Peak

Located near the Tian Tan Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery, Lantau Peak actually consists of two peaks, the main Fung Feng (male phoenix peak) and the secondary Wong Fang (female phoenix peak). After an approximately two-hour (relatively strenuous) hike, one can enjoy a magnificent view of Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport and the South China Sea from the summit.

Lantau Peak is especially popular in the early morning, when you can see a magnificent sunrise from here (provided Hong Kong is not engulfed in fog). So early risers should set off at around 4am to arrive at the peak in time.
