Embark on a journey from Shek Pik Reservoir to Tai O, a 15–18 km adventure that unfolds over 4.5 to 5 hours along Lantau Trail Sections 7 and 8. This route blends tranquil catchwater strolls with rugged coastal forest paths, revealing sweeping vistas of hidden bays and sun-kissed beaches. Along the way, history whispers through the weathered stones of Fan Lau Fort, while the enigmatic village of Yi O offers a surreal pause in time. Though the trail mostly meanders with gentle elevation, don’t be fooled—certain segments demand sure footing and extra care, especially under the sweltering Hong Kong sun.
