Lantao Island

Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong. It is remarkable in that it can be found and quiet beaches for secluded rest, and crowded entertainment centers, such as, for example, the only Disneyland in Asia.

The island has been cut off from mainland China and Hong Kong for centuries. He got his new life in 1997, when a colossal multi-tiered bridge and an international airport were built here.

You can get to the island by a suspension road with a length of 5.7 km - the journey will not be long, but very impressive. Leaving behind areas built up with modern high-rises, you will find yourself in a completely different Hong Kong – filled with greenery and nature. Here you will find historical monuments of Hong Kong - such as the Po Lin Monastery and the ancient fortress of the Qin Dynasty. In the vicinity of the monastery you can see the world’s tallest bronze statue of a sitting Buddha. Nearby is the path of wisdom, where the text of one of the most revered prayers of Buddhists is written on wooden columns – the Heart Sutra. The monastery is not far from the village of Tai O. This small village has long been famous for dried fish and seafood. Hiring a boat, you can see houses built on stilts, and, if you are lucky, see pink dolphins.

Those who travel with children are waiting for Mickey Mouse and his friends in the magical world of fairy tales and adventures called Disneyland.
