I´ve hiked the Lantau trail during thirteen-hour stopover at Hongkong International Airport. You have to take a taxi from the airport (blue one) to reach the starting point at Pak Kung Au as the public transport is really sparse within the interior of the island (there might be some buses riding from Tung Chung though). The trail offers stunning views provided you got lucky with the weather. Well, I apparently didn´t.
This trail climbs to Lantau Peak then drops sharply to Po Lin Monastery passing Tian Tan Buddha and finally descends to the city of Tung Chung running across the northwest face of the mountain which is covered with lush indigenous forest and strewn with monasteries and folk shrines.
There´re some elevation discrepancies between OSM, OCM and the real figures (most notably the summit that reads like being at the 870m mark while it actually reaches up to 934m).

Lantau Peak (Fung Wong Shan, literally "Phoenix Mountain") is the second highest peak in Hong Kong and the highest point on Lantau Island, with a height of 934 metres above sea level.
No views at all by the time I reached the summit. Just a thick fog all over the place.
There´s a camping spot nestled just beneath the Lantau Peak massif. There´s aslo another trail that diverts from the main one in order to climb the mountain of Nei Lak Shan.
