Escape the noise of the city to the fishing village, giant Buddha and golden beaches of Lantau Island.

A short boat ride or train journey away from Kowloon or Hong Kong Island are delightfully exotic islands, where the rhythm and noise of the big city seem a world away. On Lantau Island you can relax on inviting beaches, stroll around the charming Tai O fishing village, go on dolphin-spotting excursions and ride the cable car over the magnificent 26 metre high seated Great Bronze Buddha statue. Next to the Buddha is the Po Lin Monastery, where you can enjoy an optional vegetarian lunch.
