Lantau Trail

Route Introduction

  • The Lantau Trail loops the entire island of Lantau, Hong Kong, starting at Mui Wo: 70 km in twelve sections with about 2,300 m of cumulative ascent.
  • It crosses the island's two celebrated summits — Lantau Peak (934 m) and Sunset Peak (869 m) — with Shek Pik Reservoir and Pui O beach strung along the way and glorious sunsets over the South China Sea.
  • Supply points are few and far between, so plan water and food stops in advance; the full loop takes about five days, and cool, dry autumn-to-spring weather is the ideal window.
