		Lantau Island was also enjoyable; I went hiking there and climbed the steps to the monestary...this is much more physical.
		For Lantau, most people take the subway/MTR to Disney as it is a stop on the line, so you will not find ferries crowded in terms of a Disney crowd.
		Lantau does have some great walking (which almost no tourists do anyway), however, there are some really good walks on Hong Kong Island itself that are much easier to get to.

	Lantau
		Now the name is 大嶼山 which is pronounced tai yue shan and means big island mountain which is a fair name as it has some pretty big hills (not what you would call mountains if you come from Switzerland of course).
		When you arrive in Hong Kong you actually land on Lantau because that's where the Airport is! Of course you won't see much, though if you take the train back to the city (recommended) you'll see some of the countryside of the north side of the island.
		If you wanted to actually stay on Lantau then don't have a lot of choices -- see Outlying Island Hotels -- it is more of a day-trip place.
