Lantau Island is a small island off the cost of Hong Kong island. It is really pretty, and not nearly as developed as the main island. We arrived via ferry, and rented bikes. We rode them around all the different parts of the island (at least the ones that weren't too much uphill). It was both picturesque, and really beat down at the same time. We came upon a waterfall, and then later found a cave. We then headed to the beach, which was really nice.
After our bike ride we headed on a bus to see the largest seated bronze Buddha in the world. It was kind of impressive, but I think the giant Buddha we saw in Jinan was more impressive, and the temple thing has obviously grown very old. The nicest part of this island was the way back. We found a chair lift that took us home. This was just gorgeous. We were suspended above the whole island and were able to see everything. If anyone goes to Lantau I would say this is a can't miss activity.
