Five hidden gems on the Lantau Island

Five Lantau Island hidden gems for travelers

Apart from saying hello to the Big Buddha and Mickey Mouse, you can still find 5 out of common tourist track sightseeing points on the largest Lantau Island in Hong Kong......


Inspiration Lake


The free Inspiration Lake, which has a water fountain capable of shooting up to 18 meters in height, is Hong Kong's biggest artificial lake.  

Disney uses the water to irrigate its plants.  

Travelers may pay a reasonable price to ride bicycle around and have paddle-boating on the lake.  

It is a good place for the lovers and families to make some happy memories.








Pak Mong Village


You can see indigenous people's history and life at Pak Mong near the North Lantau Link Highway.  

In the past, most Lantau islanders relied on Pak Mong to travel to other places for works and businesses by boats, just like today's Mui Wo or Tung Chung.  

You can see two heritages at the remote Pak Mong: a small incinerator to burn the wastes and a guard tower to protect the people.





Tung Chung Fort

Lantau was infamous for its pirates lairs and opium smuggling in the past.  

The Qing Dynasty thus built the Tung Chung Fort in about 1830 to strengthen the defense.  

The (190 x 740)m fortress is a rare well-preserved military heritage in Hong Kong.  

You can still see the old cannons there.





Lou Han (Arhat) Temple   


Lou Han (Arhat) Temple is a good place to understand more about the Buddhism.  

In its Arhat Cave, you can see Buddha's students, 18 Arhats.

They have achieved enlightenment, but Buddha ordered them to stay in the world to help the people.  

They have different capabilities and wisdom.  

They propagate Buddhism through helping people, just like the Saints in the Western religions.





Chek Lap Kok New Village Tin Hau Temple

When government developed the new airport on the Chek Lap Kok Island, the indigenous people with their small temple, which was completely built by the granite, were moved to Lantau.  

The rebuilt temple can show you the popular local Goddess of the Seas (Tin Hau) belief, Hong Kong's old industry, masonry, and the masons' great works.

Rope Drawn Ferry to draw bridge, Tai O

Venice of the East, Tai O

Tai O is called the Venice of the East because of its stilt houses and fishing village culture. 









Tai O, fishermen and stilt houses

In the 1940s, there were 500-600 fishing boats anchored at Tai O.  

So it was one of the four biggest fishing villages in Hong Kong.  


Different from others, Most Tai O fishermen lived on the stilt-houses on the banks of the river. 



Rope-drawn ferry at Tai O in the past

Apart from using sampans to commute, people at Tai O used a rope-drawn ferry, which was powered by the hardworking ladies’ pulling actions, to cross the river.  

That interesting transportation was Tai O’s icon in the past.










New bridge and old ladies' retirement

In 1996, a new bridge offered a happy retirement life to the ladies.  

The free bridge also offered convenience to the public, although it caused the loss of an attractive tradition.






Today, YOU can still take the boat ride to see the fishing village and enjoy beautiful sunset at Tai O.
