Lantau Island: where Hong Kong swaps skyscrapers for sky-high peaks, golden beaches, and proper good adventures. This whopper of an island is a world away from the city buzz – but just a short hop from downtown HK.
First up, the Tian Tan Buddha – an absolute unit of a statue sitting pretty on a hilltop. Climb the 268 steps (yes, it’s a workout, but the views? 10/10) and soak in the serenity. Then there’s Ngong Ping 360, a cable car ride that’s equal parts thrilling and scenic – glass-bottom cabins, anyone?
If you fancy a bit of peace, Tai O fishing village is pure magic. Stilt houses, seafood so fresh it’s practically still swimming, and that slow, old-school charm that’s hard to find. Then there’s Cheung Sha Beach – a stretch of golden sand where you can kick back, sip a Fanta Lemon, and live your best life.
For the thrill-seekers, Hong Kong Disneyland is on Lantau too – because who doesn’t love a bit of Mickey magic?
So, whether you’re here for culture, adventure, or just a proper chill, Lantau’s got it all. Swanky skyline views meet island vibes – and it’s calling your name.
