Overview
Lantau South Country Park has a host of captivating attractions. Set amidst the rolling slopes of Lantau Peak and Sunset Peak, the park spreads across a radiating network of natural waterways. Historical records show that South Lantau's complex circuitry of village paths date back several hundred years. Most stone trails still existing today, known as traditional paths, are frequented by hikers, while the ever popular Lantau Trail is the premier choice for challenging your stamina and will power. Divided into 12 stages, the 70 km Lantau Trail traverses Lantau South Country Park and Lantau North Country Park. Beginning in Mui Wo, it snakes across the uplands for a full circle to end also in Mui Wo. Along the way, you enjoy a great diversity of natural vistas.
