Lantau Island (大屿山), Hong Kong

#hkonbudget

Lantau Island (大屿山) is Hong Kong’s largest island — a place where nature, culture, and adventure meet. Just a short ride from the city, it offers a completely different vibe, with misty mountains, quiet beaches, and spiritual landmarks.

The highlight is the majestic Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha), sitting peacefully above Ngong Ping, reached by a scenic cable car ride. Nearby, Po Lin Monastery and the Wisdom Path offer moments of calm and reflection. For nature lovers, hiking the Sunset Peak or relaxing on Cheung Sha Beach reveals a slower, wilder side of Hong Kong.

Whether you’re here to explore, hike, or simply unwind, Lantau Island is a breath of fresh air — a soulful escape just beyond the skyline.
