From Ngong Ping To Tung Chung

Route:
From Ngong Ping 昂坪 to Tung Chung 東涌, Lantau Island 大嶼山

Transport:
#23 bus from Tung Chung

Hiking Route:
From Ngong Ping Village to Tung Chung, using the following trails: Nei Lak Shan country trail, Ngong Ping Skyrail maintenance trail, and then walking past the Tung Chung recreational camp to reach Tung Chung. The route was about 6km, which took a little over 2 hours to hike.

Comments:
I didn't find this route very difficult (I would personally rate it a 2 out of 5), routes were mainly made up of rocky paths and uneven steps. On a clear day, this route offers great views of the Ngong Ping Skyrail (which was recently put back into service, hopefully no more falling cable cars) and Hong Kong's airport.

Will upload more photos soon.

Ack, I'm knackered, need sleep.

This one is pretty easy to get to without a guide, as once you leave Ngong Ping Village, it's straight all the way. Try it if you ever next come to HK :)
