Lantau Island

Lantau Island (大屿山) has the largest area of all islands in HONG KONG, one of China's autonomous regions. It is separated from Hong Kong Island and Pok Liu Chau (Lamma Island) to the east by the West Lamma Channel. Hong Kong Island is covered in the north by Victoria, Hong Kong's capital. Returning back to discussing about Lantau, it is southwest of mainland Hong Kong. The neat thing about Lantau is its wonderful combination of close proximity to major cities and countryside tranquility. It is somewhat isolated from the urban sprawl nearby, yet connected to surrounding islands by ferry routes and convenient boat transportation. Lantau Peak towers 934 meters above the island's center. There are multiple small surrounding islands, including Cheung Chau, Soko, and Tsing Yi. The Lantau Channel to the south separates Lantau from additional islands, such as Dazhizhu Dau.
