Worth visiting!

A review of this place

Check out the Big Buddha. You’ve gotta climb this daunting flight of steps to get up there but I was proud of myself when I got up to the top. Wonder how the old folks manage it. Views from the top are good. At sunset there’s this “misty mountain” effect. Didn’t care too much for the museum thingy though. Lantau island is worth visiting if you wanna catch a glimpse of something other than the urban life. Bear in mind that the transport system isn’t as good and there might not be rides at night so you’d have to take a taxi. But taking the buses through the mountains is hair-raising! The drivers are speed demons and hurtle up and down the roads though they’re windy and sometimes have sections where there’s only ONE lane for two-way traffic.

I agree.

I had a very similar experience during my trips to Lantau! Once I stop on the bus at the beach. That is a great way to do this trip also! Plan to stop off at the beach on the way up or down.

I forgot that Hong Kong is essentially a group of tropical islands (and peninsula :-)!
