Descripció de l'itinerari
This trail climbs to Lantau Peak then drops sharply to Po Lin Monastery passing Tian Tan Buddha and finally descends to the city of Tung Chung running across the northwest face of the mountain which is covered with lush indigenous forest and strewn with monasteries and folk shrines.
There´re some elevation discrepancies between OSM, OCM and the real figures (most notably the summit that reads like being at the 870m mark while it actually reaches up to 934m).

Shelter and some info
Well, not exactly a shelter rather a gazebo (but after all it´s a covered area nonetheless).

Lantau Peak
Lantau Peak (Fung Wong Shan, literally "Phoenix Mountain") is the second highest peak in Hong Kong and the highest point on Lantau Island, with a height of 934 metres above sea level. No views at all by the time I reached the summit. Just a thick fog all over the place.

Another shrine
I entered this one to take cover from torrential rain and I have to say, that it was kind of disturbing place. Nevertheless the views of the mountainside must be really amazing on a clear day.

Lo Hon Mon village
I was taking a cover there (it looked like a disused garage), waiting for the rain to fade away. It didn´t.

Thanks for the hike! It was really nice. Path is easy to follow and lots of indications. No scrambling, mostly uneven rock stairs and a nice path back in the end. Not many places to buy food/water (only buddha area) so bring enough.
