Lantau Peak
凤凰山
At 934 metres, Lantau Peak is Hong Kong's second-highest mountain. Reaching the summit for sunrise and the sea of clouds is a classic outing, with views of the Tian Tan Buddha and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
Lantau Peak, at 934 metres, is Hong Kong's second-highest peak and lies on Sections 2 and 3 of the Phoenix Trail. The usual route starts at Pak Kung Au, climbs steep stone steps to the summit, then descends to Ngong Ping and the Tian Tan Buddha. The hike takes about 3 to 4 hours and is steep, so you need a reasonable level of fitness. Many people set off before dawn to catch the sunrise from the top. On clear days you can see the mountains of Lantau, the airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. There are no supplies on the summit, so bring your own water and a headlamp. Do not climb during summer thunderstorms. Take bus 3M or bus 11 from Tung Chung station to Pak Kung Au.
