Introduction
Lantau Island, also known as Tai O Island, is the largest island in Hong Kong with an area of 147.16 square kilometers, which is 84% larger than Hong Kong Island, the second largest island in Hong Kong. In the past, due to the inconvenience of transportation and the distance from the city center, many areas of Lantau Island were undeveloped and sparsely populated. However, with the relocation of Hong Kong International Airport and the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Lantau Link, the connection between Lantau Island and the city center has become more convenient. The traditional fishing village of Tai O and the famous tourist attraction of Tian Tan Buddha have made Lantau Island a pleasant tourist destination. The development of the new city on North Lantau, the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, and the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in the future are promoting the urbanization of Lantau Island. For travelers, Lantau Island can provide different experiences and pleasures, whether you are seeking peace and relaxation or excitement and joy. You can enjoy the traditional fishing village in Tai O, or admire the natural beauty at Tian Tan Buddha. You can also swim at Pui O Beach or Cheung Sha Beach, or spend an unforgettable day at Hong Kong Disneyland. Lantau Island has different interests and experiences, and you can find the most suitable way to enjoy it, whether it is admiring the scenery or seeking happiness.
