No matter whether you're arriving in Hong Kong for the first time or returning home, the beauty of the Hong Kong's second highest point is lost on few people. Arguably Hong Kong's most challenging summit to climb, Lantau Peak is on of Hong Kong’s toughest peaks, even for serious climbers. Typically beginning around 4:00am, climb up the mountain's north ridge to reach the summit just in time for sunrise. Then, one has a choice of routes down, either returning via the north ridge or tackling the south face finishing with a visit to the Tian Tan Buddha.
