Section three starts at Pak Kung Au and takes you straight up Lantau Peak, the second tallest mountain in Hong Kong. Section four is relatively flat and easy as it takes you on a contour around Ngong Ping.

Distance: 10 km | Time: 4 hrs | Difficulty: 3

Sections 5 & 6

Section five starts on the other side of Keung Shan Road and starts with a steep climb up to the first of a series of hills. Section six finishes the loop with a trail that takes you back off the ridge and down to Tai O.

Distance: 10 km | Time: 4 hrs | Difficulty: 2

Sections 10 – 12

It starts with a climb up to the catch water before a long flat hike with occasional views over south Lantau.
