The final stage of the Lantau trail runs from Pui O to Mui Wo and is 9km long. It took us about 3 hours to hike it and it was one of the nicest stages of the whole Lantau trail. The hike starts in Pui O village, opposite the Police Reporting Centre and just before… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 12

Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 11
Finally - we continued hiking the Lantau trail. Originally our plan was to finish this hike in 2012, but unfortunately we were too busy and also a little bit too lazy to do so. Given that the Chinese Year has not ended yet, we can still claim we finished the trail this year... but unfortunately,… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 11
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 10
Stage 10 is very similar to stage 8, as it is just a continuation of a previous stage. Apart from a few steps in the beginning it is a really flat 6.5km walk from Shui Hau to Tung Chung road, along a catchment area. However, there are a few things that set this hike apart.… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 10
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 9
A few weekends ago Monica and I went hiking again - but I've only discovered my photos after sorting and blogging about Tokyo. Therefore apologies for the delay, it was back in early November when we went on Lantau Trail stage 9 which started at Shek Pik and went to Shui Hau. It is a… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 9
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 8
After hiking Lantau Trail Stage 7 we had not much choice then to continue stage 8, which goes from Kau Ling Chung to Shek Pik. It is a flat, 5,5km walk next to the water catchment area and it is really boring. Even the guide book did not have much to say. It talked about… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 8
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 7
We are still planning to finish the Lantau trail this year, but it is looking to become difficult - there are not many more weekends that Monica and I are both in Hong Kong and have no plans, other than to go hiking. But we'll see! We've got six stages in total and some of… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 7
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 6
Stage 5 ended at Man Cheung Po, which is in the middle of nowhere, so we had to continue walking stage 6 too, to get us to Tai O. We followed a path that took us downhill, first on some steps and then just on a forest path. You can see by the amount of… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 6
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 5
We started stage 5 immediately after stage 4, and so far, this has been my favourite part of the Lantau trail. It is intense and tiring, but so worth the views. Even on the day we went, when it was cloudy and foggy, we still enjoyed the scenery of the hike. The hike starts at… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 5
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 4
After we completed Lantau Trail Stage 3, we headed back home. But that's what we should not have done. It meant we had to go back all the way to Ngong Ping again (on a very slow bus) to continue our hike from there. Even more frustrating, stage 4 is really boring and just a… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 4
Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 3
Today's post is later than usual - but that's because I just came back from my morning's hike. Monica, Michael and I met in Tung Chung and travelled on the bus to the starting point of Lantau Trail Stage 3, which is a 4,5km hike that took us all the way up to Lantau Peak… Continue reading Hiking: Lantau Trail Stage 3
