Lantau Stage 2: Sunset Peak
 

See the topographical map

Start: Take ferry to Mui Wo  and then bus to Pui O (or MTR to Tung Chung and bus to Mui Wo).  Get off the bus just before the top of the hill (towards Pui O) where you see the notice board with the Lantau Trail map.

End: From Pak Kung Au, you can get a bus down the mountain to Mui Wo or up to Tung Chung.

Time: 2.5 hours 

Difficulty: Start at 100m elevation and climb gradually to 780m and then steeply down to the finish at 340m. 

Get off the bus when you see this.
It didn't rain on the day I took these photos but the fog makes you wet anyway - but at least it wasn't cold...
