Fa
Peng Teng (literally means "Vase Top") is located next to Lantau Link
Toll Plaza of Lantau Island. The highest point is only 270 meters, and
the routes to Fa Peng Teng are mainly concrete staircases. From the Toll
Plaza to Fa Peng Teng, it takes less than one hour by walk, depending on the route you
choose and the time you spend in each spot. The route in red arrows is
the path we selected.
The
view from Fa Peng Teng is very different and fascinating. We can
overlook East Lamma Channel, Lamma Island, Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong
Island (Sai Wan, Sheung Wan and Central), Kowloon Peninsula,
Stonecutters Bridge, Tsing Ma Bridge, Kap Shui Mun Bridge, Ting Kau Bridge, Ma Wan and Tsing Yi Island.
Most routes are similar to this concrete pavement.

To take good photos, it is heard that summer should be the best time.
If it is in winter, wind is blown from the north, resulting that the sky
would not be clear enough.

We have not climbed up to Fa Peng Teng immediately, but to walk down to sea level.
This Kap Shui Mum Channel is very busy, with all ships moving from left to right in the above photo.
There are several small beaches at the north-eastern part of Lantau Island.
We can view Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island (Central and Sheung Wan) from another angle.
This is the rock symbolizing Fa Peng Teng (the vase top). It is quite
strange that there is such a big rock firmly stood at the top.
Tsing
Ma Bridge at night is extremely fascinating in fact. But because of my
equipment and skill, this should be the best available. Really sorry. To
be my blogmates, you know my strength and weakness well, if any.
