Outlying Islands

Giant Buddha / Po Lin Monastery / The Wisdom Path
Located Area: Lantau Island

Few statues anywhere in the world have such a powerful pull on the imagination as the Giant Buddha gazing serenely on the Po Lin (Precious Lotus) Monastery from its hillside site at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island.

The eyes, lips, incline of the head and even the right hand raised to deliver a blessing to all, combine to lend great depth of character and dignity to this extraordinary statue, whose very glance brings calm and introspection to those who look into those seemingly all-seeing eyes.

Tai O Fishing Village
Located Area: Lantau Island

Tai O is one of the outlying islands west of Hong Kong, located southwest of Lantau Island. Nicknamed ‘The Venice of Hong Kong’ it is one of the most famous outlying islands in Hong Kong. It is special not only in being a fishing village, but also not being polluted by urban life yet. Whenever you go to Tai O, you will always feel the relaxation and comfort you won’t find in any other parts of Hong Kong.

Cheung Chau
Located Area: Cheung Chau

Cheung Chau (meaning "long island" in Cantonese) is one of the most popular of all the outlying islands. Shaped like a dumbbell, it is about a 40-60-minute ferry ride from Hong Kong's Central District.

Lamma Island
Located Area: Lamma Island

Lying just a half-hour ferry ride from Central, Lamma – the third largest of Hong Kong's islands – offers a great escape from the city. There are no cars here and few buildings are over three storeys high. Trails meander along hills and coastline. There are fine bathing beaches and the island is home to some of the Hong Kong's most popular seafood restaurants.
