Swim from the sandy beach
just beyond the hostel gates or walk to the gazetted beach at Pui O.
2) From Pui O take a bus to Cheung Sha and swim from one of thelongest and most beautiful of Hong Kong"s beaches.
3) From Pui O take a bus to Tai O. This is a traditional fishing village that retains much of
its original character and charm despite having to contend with an increasing number of local
and overseas visitors. Of particular interest are the unique stilt houses built out over the
central creek by local fishing families who fiercely resist all attempts to relocate them in
modern utilitarian public housing. Dried sea food is available from street stalls.
4) Whilst in Tai O also undertake the Tai O Wetland Ecotour and learn about the many
fascinating marine creatures that inhabit the area"s extensive mangrove plantations.

The site of the Tian Ta Buddha (opening 10:00 hours- 18:00 hours) provides visitors with
a commanding view over the Shek Pik reservoir and to the South Lantau coast beyond and
draws a steady stream of devotees to this upland plateau throughout the year.
6) Also at Ngong Ping is the Po Lin Monastery (opening 09:00 hours -18:00 hours) which is
perhaps the best known of the many monasteries in Hong Kong which together with the Tian
Ta Buddah are the principal attractions in this area. The feeling of tranquility within the
monastery grounds and the fragrance of burning incense sticks is appealing to Buddhists and
non-Buddhists alike.
7) Also from Ngong Ping explore the Buddhist Walk (Chinese Language only) to Tung Chung.
8) Also from Ngong Ping climb the adjacent Lantau Peak. This is not an exercise for the faint
hearted for the almost vertical ancient stone steps leading up to this commanding peak from
the Ngong Ping plateau strain every sinew within one"s legs! It is, however, well worth the
effort for the view from the summit is truly spectacular and on a clear day one can see much
of Lantau and the surrounding seas and islands. Many enthusiasts commence this hike in darkness
in order to reach the peak in time to see the sun rise over the South China Sea.

Southern side of Lantau Island and has a variety of shops, restaurants supermarkets and banks.
