Introduction to Lantau Island

Lantau Island is the largest island in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with an area nearly twice that of Hong Kong Island. Located outside the Pearl River Estuary. Lantau Island is high in the southwest and low in the northeast. Phoenix Mountain, the main peak, is 935 meters above sea level, making it the second highest peak in Hong Kong. Lantau Island has many hills and little flat land, and there is only a small flat land under the mountain stream. The most densely populated place on the island is Tai 'ao Town in the southwest. Since the 1970s, many Hong Kong people like to travel and rest on Lantau Island on weekends or holidays.
