Lantau Trail

Lantau Trail is a long-distance hiking path on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The route covers several sections and passes through diverse landscapes, including coastal areas, forested hills, and villages, offering different views and rest stops along the way.

The trail was created to link different areas of the island and provide access to less visited parts of Lantau for hikers. Some sections follow ancient paths that were traditionally used by local residents and pilgrims over many centuries.

The trail is divided into several well-marked sections that can be walked individually or combined depending on time and fitness level. Along the way, there are rest areas, water sources, and small shops in nearby villages where walkers can stop and refresh.

Some sections lead to remote beaches and quiet coves that see few tourists, giving hikers a sense of solitude near Hong Kong. These hidden spots offer unexpected calm far from the bustle of the city.
