Lantau

Trip Description

This route is not difficult at all but it is not frequently visited by hikers. Therefore, the down-hill portion of the path is a little bit confusing. You don't need to climb tall mountain, you can still enjoy a excellent sea view if the weather is fine. For experienced hikers, it is a leisure half-day trip.

Location 6

Location 7

Description : Here we are in a bamboo forest again. There are beaches on either sides. You should take the right one. Well, you can also visit the left beach before heading back to the exit.
By the way, when you go down from Fa Peng Teng (花瓶頂), you may be tempted or misled to go down to a stream in a valley. That's absolutely doable but the experience won't be very pleasant.
