2 Sunset Peak, Lantau Island
Lantau Island is one of the most popular tourist spots in Hong Kong and for good reason. During the day, many flock to Lantau to visit the iconic and gigantic statue of Big Buddha, but there are several other attractions nearby as well, such as restaurants, shops, monuments, and natural sights. For the full experience, take the cable car ride up to Ngong Ping and ride in a cable car with glass floors!
After enjoying your day, get ready to head to Sunset Peak, a popular spot for hikers and also the third-highest peak in all of Hong Kong. Though the hike might be a little ambitious for beginners, don’t be discouraged—the trail will lead to expansive plains of silvergrass strewn with old holiday cabins, and the perfect spot to provide you with a panoramic view of the nighttime sky, away from the light pollution of the city. Moreover, as the name suggests, this spot is also perfect for experiencing the sunset if you want to camp overnight.
