Outlying island attractions:
Lantau 1:
Lantau Island is located in the west of Hong Kong Island. It is the largest island in China and Hong Kong, with an area of 1, 4 1.6 square kilometers, nearly twice that of Hong Kong Island. Lantau Island is mainly composed of Mesozoic igneous rock series and Yanshanian granite, with high terrain in the southwest and low terrain in the northeast. Lantau Island, with its vast territory, is full of charm. The coastline of Lantau Island is long and tortuous, and the harbor and beach, mountains and flowing water, natural landscape and historical sites complement each other. Traveling all over the island is like completing a time-staggered shuttle trip.
2. Lamma Mountain:
Yinshan, the main peak of Lamma Island, also known as Shantang Mountain or Lamma Mountain, is 353 meters high and is the highest peak in Lamma Island. Jiaoling Mountain is the second highest peak on the island, 250 meters high. These two mountains are covered with grotesque granite, which makes them truly the Shijingshan of Lamma Island.
3, big and small Modaozhou:
There is a Modao Sea in the middle of the north shore of Lantau Island, and there are three small islands in the sea, which are arranged linearly from northeast to southwest. They are small sharpening, big sharpening and rice shell continent. The island is a rocky island with several short trees and drought-tolerant short grass on it; Reef rafts are distributed along the coast, especially in Fankezhou. During the spring tide, most of the reef rafts were submerged in seawater.
