分流 Fan Lau
Fan Lau Country Trail showcases Hong Kong’s multicultural heritage on southern Lantau Island. Starting from Shek Pik along Lantau Trail Section 8 (backwards), the path leads to the narrow Fan Lau Tung Wan beach, ending at the historic Fan Lau Fort. Built in the late Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty (with Ming records of earlier barracks and cannons), it evokes a vivid sense of time travel. Beyond the fort lies Fan Lau Kok, where the muddy Pearl River dramatically meets the clear eastern sea—perfect for photographers. A side path reaches the ancient Stone Circle, dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, its intact oval arrangement offering exceptional archaeological value.

Keung Shan Country Trail descends south from Fan Shui Au on a natural rock path to Kau Ling Chung Catchwater. North views include serene Che Hing Monastery amid pines and scenic Lung Tsai Ng Yuen. Descent is gentle. 200m away, Kau Ling Chung Campsite has a white beach, streams with bridges, shady trees; eastern knoll features a viewpoint and 1902 South Lantau Obelisk (post-1898 Convention), 60m high with panoramic three-sided sea views.
This coastal hike begins near Shek Pik and follows southern Lantau toward Tai Long Wan, passing quiet beaches, traditional villages, and remote campsites. Early sections use clear paths with attractive sea views and opportunities to enjoy sunrise or sunset. Hikers may extend the journey toward the rugged Fan Lau Peninsula, where distinctive historic landmarks, secluded shores, and an abandoned village add interest. The route becomes hillier farther west and requires stronger endurance. Completed as a long day hike or overnight camping trip, it offers an especially rewarding combination of coastal scenery, cultural traces, natural tranquillity, and beautiful remote island landscapes.
Lion Hill to Elephant Hill via Tai O is an easy one-way trail covering approximately 3.9 km with moderate elevation changes. The route climbs to around 450 m, offering scenic views of Tai O and the surrounding Lantau landscape. With a mix of mountain paths and gentle descents, this trail provides a relaxed hiking experience suitable for beginners or those looking for a shorter countryside walk.
