High above the city’s clamor, Pak Kung Au sits perched on Lantau Island. Pak Kung Au is a mountain pass where the wind whispers tales of daring hikers and tragic crashes. This is the start of the Lantau Trail’s Stage 3, nestled between Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak. Pak Kung Au isn’t just a rest stop for weary legs. It’s a place etched in history. On a somber day in August 2003, the tranquility of Pak Kung Au was shattered. A Government Flying Service helicopter, the B-HRX, crashed here. The pilot and aircrewman perished. Their sacrifice is remembered in Gallant Garden, a final resting place for civil servants lost in the line of duty. Today, Pak Kung Au remains a poignant reminder of their service. Hikers passing through can pause and reflect on this event. They can appreciate the stunning views that stretch out towards the iconic Lantau Peak. Imagine standing here, the wind whipping through your hair, the city a distant hum. You understand the appeal that draws people to this remote, beautiful, and sometimes tragic location. Pak Kung Au offers a space for both remembrance and the quiet contemplation of nature’s grandeur.
