About Islands District

A spacious, island-based district of villages, beaches, hiking country parks, ferry piers, and scattered low-rise development. Lantau has the liveliest services around Tung Chung and Mui Wo, while outlying islands feel slower and more rural. Northern Lantau is more urban because of the airport and transport infrastructure.

Good for

  • nature lovers
  • quiet seekers
  • couples
  • families
  • long stays

Less suited to

  • nightlife seekers
  • business travelers
  • public transport users
  • people with limited mobility

Watch out for

  • Check the last ferry or bus before visiting outlying villages and islands.
  • Allow extra travel time because services are separated by water and mountainous roads.
  • Take normal care on quiet paths and around ferry piers after dark.
  • Expect occasional aircraft or transport noise in northern Lantau near the airport.
