Fan 2 Lau (分流) is a peninsula on the southwest tip of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. In Cantonese, Fan Lau means “separating water flow“. It precisely describes the main characteristic of the peninsula: separating the current from the Pearl River and the water of the South China Sea.
Waypoints
| Label | Name |
|---|---|
| A | Discovery Bay Plaza |
| B | Neo Horizon Entry Point |
| C | Lau Fa Tung |
| D | Tiger Head |
| E | Lok Fu Tau (View Point) |
| F | Celestial Peach |
| G | Mui Wo Silvermine Bay Beach |
In addition to the peninsula’s geographical property, the area has an ancient stone circle, an old military fort, a Tin Hau temple, abandoned villages, and panoramic views of Lantau South Country Park.
However, the area is only accessible on foot via the Fan Lau hike, which includes Lantau Trail Section 8, Fan Lau Country Trail, and Lantau Trail Section 7. The point-to-point coastal trail is easy but very long.
In this post, I’ll explain everything you need to know about Fan Lau Peninsula and how to spend the day hiking this long but rewarding trail on Lantau Island.
What you need to know before starting Fan Lau Hike
Before you start hiking to Fan Lau, take a look at my Hong Kong solo travel guide and get an overview of HK first.
Here are a few additional tips for hiking the Fan Lau trail:
- The best times to hike to Fan Lau are late autumn, winter, and early spring. The trail is long and exposed to the sun, so I would not recommend hiking during summer.
- Bring enough water (at least 2-3L) and food for seven hiking hours.
- Bring sunscreen and other sun protection for the exposed trail.
- Get an Octopus Card, a rechargeable smartcard for public transportation in Lantau.
- Google Maps has enough information about the Fan Lau hiking trail. But if you really want to see all the trail details, especially around the Fan Lau Peninsula, download the “Hiking Trail HK” app on your smartphone.
Difficulty: intermediate (easy trail, not much elevation gain, but long duration)
Duration: 7 hours
Distance: 16km
What to bring:
hiking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), lots of water, snacks, smartphone (for taking photos and navigation)
How to get to the start of the hiking trail to Fan Lau
From anywhere in Hong Kong, take the MTR to Tung Chung Station. Then walk 1 minute from Exit B to the bus terminus and hop on bus 11 to Sha Tsui, which is west of Shek Pin Reservoir.
NLB Bus #11: from Tung Chung Station Bus Terminus to Sha Tsui Bus Stop
Time: 50 minutes (every 10 to 20 minutes)
Cost: $13.4HKD on weekdays and $22.3HKD on weekends and public holidays (pay with Octopus card)
There is a big sign for Lantau Country Park. You don’t have to walk around the sign – a short staircase is next to the bus stop. Shek Pik public toilet is in front of the bus stop if you need to use the facilities.
Are you ready to hike to Fan Lau on Lantau Island?
Not many people know about Fan Lau, not even the locals. But if you love to hike and discover off-the-beaten-path places, you’ll have to hike this fantastic Lantau Island hike.
The journey is long, but the views are all worth your time and effort.
