1471007900_Hint CommentStarting from Pak Kung Au, the initial section of the trail is relatively gentle and easy to walk. However, as you approach the summit of Lantau Peak, the slopes become steeper and more challenging, testing both stamina and determination. Though the climb is tough, the moment you reach the peak and gaze across the surrounding mountains, all fatigue melts away in the face of the breathtaking view. As the saying goes, “Climbing up is easy, coming down is hard.” The descent toward Ngong Ping is short but steep, with uneven stone steps that can make your legs tremble — a demanding finish to an unforgettable hike.
