Hong Kong is clearly visible from the higher elevations on Lantau Island. It is around twenty kilometres in a straight line across the wide bay of the South China Sea to Victoria Harbour, the waterfront and the centre of the city of eight million people with its soaring skyline and the restlessness in its shadow.
The green lung of Hong Kong
Lantau to the west, on the other hand, is pure tranquillity. Its natural surroundings with dense forests, shady paths and secluded sandy beaches have given the largest island in the Wanshan archipelago a fitting nickname: Hong Kong's green lung. It could hardly be better if you want to escape the hustle and bustle on land and let yourself drift on the water.
Part of a major construction project
It is therefore hardly surprising that the Lantau Yacht Club has chosen this location for its marina. The harbour with its solid pier is part of a large construction project on Discovery Bay and, embedded in the natural surroundings, offers all the amenities on land that guarantee a relaxing stay. In addition to a total of 148 berths, there are 38 for superyachts. The maximum length is 100 metres
