Located in Lantau, Mount Tung is 869 meters high, making it the third highest peak in Hong Kong. It is connected to Mount Er Tung and Mount Lotus.
Tai Tung Shan is very famous. Every year during the mangrove season, I believe everyone's social media will be more popular than Tai Tung Shan's photos. In addition to the endless grass, there are more than a dozen small stone houses on Dadong Mountain. The scenery is very intoxicating with the afterglow of the sunset.
To reach the summit of Tai Tung, after the Phoenix Trail waypoint L014, turn into the small trail to reach the summit. The English name of Tai Tung Shan is Sunset Peak, as the name suggests. This is a good place to watch the sunset, and you can enjoy the scenery of Lantau Island and Tung Chung.
