Lantau Island, with a size twice as big as Hong Kong Island, is the biggest island to the west of Hong Kong Island.

Most people in this island inhabit in Mui Wo, Tai O, Tung Chung and scatter along the southern coast. Among them, Mui Wo is the most prosperous town. After the International Airport has been built, visitors can take a bus or the mass transit railway and reach the heartland of Lantau within 30 minutes from the city center.

Tai O, also known as the "Oriental Venice" was the largest settlement on Lantau Island, though it is in decline now. The water combining with the stilt houses on the waterfront at dusk gives visitors a touch of romance, forming the most unforgettable scene in Tai O.

With wild countryside, monasteries, old fishing villages and seriously secluded beaches, Lantau Island, for those who are tired of the noise and polluted city life, is definitely a place to visit or even to live with. There are a lot of outdoor activities that people can do such as hiking, mountain biking, camping, fishing and etc.
