Keung Shan is located in southwestern Lantau Island, with a height of 459 meters. Lantau Trail (Section 5) provides a well maintained trail for accessing the summits of Keung Shan and Ling Wui Shan. For the experienced hikers, it can try to access other summits that out of official hiking trail, such as Kwun Yam Shan, Tai Hom Sham and Nga Ying Shan, each summit has its own expansive panoramic view. Because of the grand views and flexibility, Keung Shan is one of the best hiking trail in Lantau Island.
