Lantau Trail

The 70 kilometres (43 mi) trail is a loop starting and finishing in the rural town of Mui Wo.

At each turning, route signs give instructions about directions, place names, and the distances and times for hiking between various locations.

Once at the cable car station, follow the pedestrian shopping precinct in the direction of the Tian Tan Buddha for around 200m, watching on the right for a poorly displayed Lantau Trail sign pointing hikers downhill along Ngong Ping Road and Sham Wat Road.

The trail crosses private land at Yi O Village[14] and access is officially closed (as verified in December 2013).

The developer of the 9-hectare organic farm, Andrew Lam Siu-lo, is being investigated for having cleared ecologically sensitive land by burning and for having brought heavy construction machinery into a protected Hong Kong country park.

The Phoenix Walkathon was previously held by the Hong Kong Ecotoursism Society along the 70-km Lantau Trail every year, although it was cancelled in the early 2000s.
