Hiking Trails

This 6.5km section of the Lantau Trail takes you up Sunset Peak - one of the two biggest mountains on Lantau. It's a vigorous walk (hey, you'll be climbing a mountain), but go on a clear day and the views are stupendous. Like all Hong Kong trails, it's well-marked from the starting point at Nam Shan. When you reach Pak Kung Au, turn left and walk along Tung Chung Road to Cheung Sha Beach - one of the longest and loveliest in the territory. End your outing with a cold beer and South African braai (barbecue) on the terrace at Stoep on Cheung Sha Beach.

Getting there: Take a ferry from pier 7 in Central to Mui Wo, about 55 minutes, then a taxi to Nam Shan. Follow Stage 2 of the Lantau Trail towards Pak King Au via Sunset Peak.
