[2025 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Lantau Trail (Updated Apr)

#SkylineView #100WaysToTravel Hike the second and third sections of the Phoenix Trail, starting from Tung Chung - Poji Mountain - Erdong Mountain - Dadong Mountain - Pak Kong Au - Phoenix Hill - the final destination is Ngong Ping. The mountains along the way are majestic and the mountain roads are winding. Hiking in it, you feel like you are in the embrace of nature. As the altitude increases, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually fades away, replaced by fresh air and a peaceful environment. Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking around, you can see the entire city skyline. The tall buildings, distant mountains and nearby water form a magnificent picture. The road to Erdong Mountain is relatively rugged, but the scenery along the way is very stunning. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see a wider skyline, as if the whole world is at your feet.

To climb up to Lantau Peak, you have to start from the third section of the Lantau Peak Trail, which is mainly stone level, but the slope is high, and you need to climb from more than 300 meters above sea level to the top of the mountain of 934 meters, it is best to bring enough water and food to replenish physical strength. Once you climb to the top, you can see the mist and mountain peaks, and the sunset is even more charming. There is no lighting on the mountain road after entering the dark, so everyone should remember to bring a torch or headlamp. Starting point: Bogong Pass End point: Ngong Ping Bus Station Difficulty: 4/5 Length: 4.5 km Time: 2.25 hours Access: Take New Lantau Bus 3M/11/23 and leave by 2/23 after sunset. #Lantau Peak #Sunset

#Outdoor good places Location: Section 2, Phoenix Hill, Tung Chung, Lantau Island Attractions: Tai Tung Shan Mang Grass Er Tung Shan Duration: About 3.5 hours (photo not included) It's November, the autumn air is crisp, and the mango season is in full bloom. It's best to enjoy the golden view of mango grass. Take the '3M' bus from Tung Chung MTR Station and get off at 'San Yau Village in Nam Shan'. Note that the bus service is relatively sparse. During festivals, the queue is basically queued for a long time. It is best to go up the mountain on weekdays. The drive takes 30 minutes. Note that there may not be too many people getting off at San Yau Tsuen Station. Most hikers will take Bo Kok Au. After getting off the three-house car, there is an obvious "Lantau Country Park" archway next to it. After that, we started in the direction of the "Bo Kok Au" sign. The section from "South Shan" to "Bo Kok Au" is called "Phoenix Trail Section 2". This section starts with the first hour up the mountain, but the scenery along the way is beautiful, you can overlook the area of ​​Mei Wo and Silver Mine Bay, if there are clouds, the section is very comfortable. After an hour, we started to see traces of miscanthus, and we didn't go wrong all the way along the road signs in the direction of "Bo Kok Au". Gradually, you will find patches of golden mangrove. From Erdong Mountain to Lantou Camp, every step is a good place to take pictures. Basically, I spent more time taking pictures than hiking, and there was an endless stream of tourists. Everyone was busy looking for a good location to take pictures. When we arrived at Lan Tau Camp in Tai Tung Shan, we encountered the clouds and mist covering the top. It was like a fairyland. Coupled with the mangroves all over the mountains and plains, it was beyond description! Some people will wait until sunset for a perfect photo op. After taking pictures, we continued towards Bo Kok Au, gradually descending the mountain, accompanied by mangosteen along the way. I was very satisfied when I walked to Bo Kok Au. I could slowly leave by bus and return to Tung Chung.

Phoenix Mountain is located on Lantau Island, with an altitude of 934 meters. It is the second highest mountain in Hong Kong, second only to Tai Mo Shan. Phoenix Mountain is a popular spot for viewing the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds, hence the name “Phoenix Sunrise Viewing”. It was once selected as one of the "Top Ten Scenic Spots in Hong Kong".

Phoenix Hill goes up the most at night💫 Because the sunrise in Phoenix is ​​really not tired of watching 🥰 The journey up the hill takes about two hours Fast time is an hour and a half to hea walk can 2:30 hours😂 Usually 2:30 Lantau and wait for a taxi to Bo Kwong Au Then set off ~ even summer and winter I will sweat a lot🫧 But in winter when you get up the mountain.... My hands will turn into ice This photo is a summer Phoenix sunrise☺️ I’ll post it next time in winter🫶🏻 The downhill stone steps are relatively high. There are hiking stones that can unload 🛸 Will it be a little better for your feet? It will be strong when going down the mountain ☀️ Take enough precautions to avoid becoming a black man💦 Transportation Tips - Taxi and then taxi Local attractions - a must-visit place for sunrise #LocalTour #HongKongGood Places #HongKong #Sunrise

We reached the top of the mountain before 7:00 in the morning, and there were already more than 20 people waiting for the sunrise on the top of the mountain. We waited for about half an hour to see the soft morning light rising on the horizon, and then the orange sun slowly rising from behind the clouds. We were really lucky that day and saw a beautiful sunrise. Even if there was no sea of ​​clouds, we were all satisfied. What impressed us about this sunrise trip was also the strong winds of Lantau Peak. In winter, you should also pay attention to keeping warm when going up the mountain. It is fine before sunrise, but the icy cold wind rises with the sunrise. It is enough to wear down and a wind jacket. Perhaps because of the freezing weather, most of the tourists had already left the top of the mountain shortly after sunrise, allowing us to take pictures on the top of the surprisingly few Lantau Peak before going down the mountain. #行山路線推介 #本地遊 #境外遊 #hiking

#Hiking Route Recommendation Stuck at home for a month this week finally went for a walk in the morning to take a walk to relax Under the epidemic, many restaurants and shopping malls in the city have closed early So go for a walk and get some air There are several sections of the Phoenix Trail that are not too difficult to walk. You can go over to eat at noon if you leave in the morning You will also pass through the Enlightenment Garden, which is a very poetic and picturesque environment The flowing water is planted with many different flowers and plants. It should be that kind of antique architecture If the weather warms up a little this executes comfortably back later hot If the epidemic is not so serious, I might walk again Estimated walk time is three to four hours Remember to bring your own drinking water and your own garbage to take away Walking to the end today was not too crowded #countryside good places #local tour

#Winter Travels As soon as you reach the top, you will be amazed by the majestic Phoenix Mountain and the steep Gouyaling Mountain. Bird's eye view of Shek Pik Reservoir; distant view of Soko Islands. Standing on this mountain and looking at that mountain, the continuous mountain ranges, one upon another, are magnificent. The golden autumn scenery is another scene. The swaying Miscanthus grass in the wind adds to the beautiful autumn scenery. Route: Take bus No. 11 from Tung Chung > Sham Wat Road > Section 5 of Phoenix Trail > Kwun Yam Shan > Qiang Shan > Ling Hui Shan > Tai O #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs #Winter Travels #Hiking

During the Miscanthus season, you must come to Phoenix Trail Mountain! The first section of Phoenix Trail, from Mui Wo Food Court to Nam Shan (L001-005), is all along the road. If you are not planning to walk the entire Phoenix Trail early in the morning, you can completely skip this section. The second section runs from Nanshan to Bogong'ao (L005-018), passing through Erdongshan, Lantouying and Dadongshan. It is the most famous section for admiring Miscanthus. Take the 3M bus from Tung Chung to Nanshan Campground, which is the entrance to Section 2 (Figure 4). The next section of the road is a mountain trail shaded by trees (Figure 5), which is not very difficult. Here you can overlook the sea view (Figures 6 and 7). There is also a mountain spring shaded by bamboo forests on the mountain (Figure 8). The second section passes through three viewing platforms along the way (Figure 9): Erdongshan Viewing Platform, Dadongshan First Viewing Platform and Second Viewing Platform. At the fork in the road of L011 (Figure 10), you can turn right and climb the 766-meter-high Lotus Mountain (Figures 11 and 12). The mountain is very steep, so we chose another route to go down the mountain. Although it is a long detour, it is safer. Along the way, we climbed up to Sanshan Terrace (Figure 13), which is 728 meters high. At the fork in the road, turn left and you can climb up Erdong Mountain. The road is very steep, but the Miscanthus on the top of the mountain is extremely beautiful. It is easier to take pictures than Dadong Mountain, and most importantly, there are fewer people. Not far ahead is the internet celebrity check-in spot, Lantouying. (Figures 1, 2, 14-19) Continuing forward we reached Dadong Mountain, where more and more people started to appear. Especially from Tiaobanshi to Bogongao, there is a constant stream of people. The stepping stone is always the place where the most tourists gather (Figure 20).

111 Ngong Ping Road, Lantau Island, Hong Kong My first time travelling to Hong Kong enjoying the super cold weather of only 10 to 13 degrees at the lantau island. I am so impressed with the cold weather as we do not have such cold weather in Singapore. The place was so spooky and the floor can be very wet and slippery. I have to take each step with care as I almost slipped on a few occasions. There were a few stalls along the way at Lantau island, serving food and snacks. The Starbucks at that area was on full house as many went in to have a cup of hot coffee and tea under the cold weather. It was really a brand new experience for me. I enjoyed such weather and look forward to it again in Hong Kong. #hkinsider

Easy train ride to HK Disneyland, with special train. Trains are very frequent about every 4-8 minutes.

#springtravel Take bus No. 11 or 23 from Tung Chung to Shui Hau Village and enter Lo Kei Wan Campground. Lo Kei Wan is a great place for camping. It has a large beach with very fine sand. Walking barefoot on the beach, listening to the sound of waves and the breeze blowing on your face, you won't want to leave. Continue along the ninth section of the Phoenix Trail to the Shibi Pond, where you can feel the breath of spring: pleasant flowers blooming on the roadside; pleasing young buds sprouting, a sea of ​​green; and enjoy the coastal scenery while walking. This is an easy hike that is perfect for the whole family. #Hiking route recommendations
