Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Zhujiang River. It consists of mainly mountainous terrain. Lantau Peak (934 m) is the highest point of the island, and the second highest in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is located on the island and is connected to the urban areas by the Lantau Link, which is composed of the Kap Shui Mun Bridge, the Ma Wan Viaduct, and the Tsing Ma Bridge. The airport also has a metro connection to the rest of Hong Kong via the MTR's airport line.

Major tourist attractions include the Po Lin Monastery and the Tiantan Buddha. Hong Kong Disneyland is being constructed on the northeastern part of the island.
