Beautiful scenery as most part of the trail from Pak Kung Au is on top of the mountain. Quite a hard hike compared to others in Hong Kong as it’s literally all steps. If you are afraid of heights, you may find the last part of the trail scary. But you are greeted with amazing views of the peaks of the other mountains. You can see big Buddha, airport, Tung Chung from here. To get here, take 11 from Tung Chung. You can start from Pak Kung Au or Shek Pik Reservoir. Or you can also start from Ngong Ping Big Buddha. Pak Kung Au has better views than from Shek Pik and Ngong Ping. But it’s sunnier as the sun is directly shining on you. Highly recommend to hike down to Pak Kung Au though, as it’s very beautiful to see the sunset. Many hikers will hike up from Pak Kung Au and down to Ngong Ping.

Absolutely worth it yo do this section of Lantau Trail Section 3. The view from the Peak is amazing. We were lucky to see both sun and fog. We started off this trail from Pak Kung Au. It was a good call, as the view walking up from here to Lantau Peak aka Fung Wong Shan was wonderful. To get to Pak Kung Au, mtr to tung chung, then bus 11 or 3M to Pak Ku Au. Walk a few steps and you can see the sign. One is for Sunset Peak and the other is for Lantau Peak. There are plenty of steps to walk up and occasionally flat terrain. However there are benches along the way and interesting rock formation. Plenty of photo opportunities. At the peak of 934m it is fantastic. There is also a shelter just in case the weather changes. It's really worth a climb. Will do this again!

The hike up to Lantau Peak was brutal but at the same time one of the best of our 2024 Worldtrip! We started at the Shek Pik Reservoir at around 14:30 and took the steep trail over the West Dog's Teeth to the Lantau Peak. Our plan was to be at the top of Lantau Mountain to see the sunset, but unfortunately we needed 4 hours to climb to the top and it was almost dark :D. But nevertheless the view in the dark was great. I highly recommend to wear sunprotection and take enough water with you (2-3 liter per Person!). You need a good condition to go the whole way to the top and be free from giddiness, especially at the section around the West Dog's Teeth. Nonetheless you should hike the trail to Lantau Peak, you won't regret. Fantastic!

We took the bus from Tung Chung to Pak Fu Au, and the trailhead was just several minutes away. Having hiked a few mountains in Hong Kong, I must say the view here was quite breathtaking and possibly run the highest peak in Hong Kong (Tai Mo Shan) for its money! A great one day itinerary would be Lantau Peak > Tian Tan Buddha > Po Lin Monastery > Ngong Ping > Tung Chung (can even do some shopping!) Alternatively you could hit up Tai O on the way down. Many people go to the Buddha from Ngong Ping cable cars but it’s actually possible to hike your way to it too and get rewarded with some of the most stunning views Hong Kong can offer. 100% recommend!

Lower than 20degree celsius with strong wind in mid November. I was freezing there waiting for the sunset. : Crowded on Sunday!!! have to wait while going up or down. Some hiker loved to open loud music while walking up here. : I did one day trek alone… —>bus no. 3M from Tung Chung bus terminal to Pak Kung Au bus station 🚉 (~25mins) —>starting point is opposite the bus stop —>Lantau peak 3km (~1-2hr) depend on your step (no toilet on the way up) —>the way back Lantau peak-pak kung au 3km (1hr after darkness) —> take any bus back to Tung Chung station 🚉 *many of butterfly 🦋 Some wild flower along the way 🌸 Crow before sunset 🌅

Great way to get out of the city in Hong Kong. Clear defined track, but the whole way is up & up. You need to be fit. 600m ascent. Which means a steep down hill - so bring a hiking stick(s). It was misty on the tops when we did it, but this only added to the atmosphere. Being on the tops there is no water available till you get to Ngong Ping. Best to start from Pak Kung Au (get there by bus) & end up at Ngong Ping. There is a large village food area at Ngong Ping as well - servicing the tourists visiting this Bhuddist sanctuary. Magical coming down off the tops, seeing the wisdom path & the Tian Tan Buddha on the skyline.
