Lo Fu Tau, Mountain summit on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

Lo Fu Tau rises 465 meters above sea level, featuring granite rock formations and extensive silver grass fields across its slopes and ridges.

The mountain trail passes near the Silvermine cave, which operated during the early 20th century until mining activities ceased due to low silver concentrations.

The Chinese name translates to Tiger's Head, reflecting the mountain's shape, while Pun To Shek rock formations hold significance in Taoist mythology.

The hiking trail connecting Discovery Bay to Mui Wo requires approximately three hours to complete, with access available via ferry services or buses.

The mountain's granitic composition distinguishes it from other Lantau peaks, which primarily consist of volcanic rock formations.
