Guidelines for travelers when encountering cattle and buffalo
One large male buffalo rammed several students in the southern part of Lantau Island on yesterday (4 November 2021).
Frank the tour guide hopes the slightly wounded children of this rare accident can recover soon (For details please browse this link).
After retiring from the farming work, the cattle and buffalos are now enjoying freedom on Lantau Island.

Water buffalo
Travelers can see quite a lot of stray brown cattle at South Lantau Road, Ngong Ping and Tai O.
To see the stray water buffalos, travelers mostly need to walk to the wetland in the south Lantau to find them.
The quiet cattle.
The animals are mostly quiet and become one of the icons of Lantau Island tourism.
So if travelers follow the dos and don’ts when encountering cattle and buffalo, travelers can tour Lantau Island safely.
| Dos when encountering cattle or buffalo | Don’ts when encountering cattle or buffalo |
|---|---|
| Mind personal safety | Feed |
| Stay Calm | Disturb |
| Keep a distance | Approach |
| Drive slowly and be patient | Throw object at them |
| Contact police for any animal injury and abuse | Be noisy |
The dos and don’ts when encountering stray cattle and buffalo
Travelers should keep a distance from the cattle and buffalo although they are lovely.
Frank the tour guide’s easy Lantau Island private tour includes the one-way Lantau taxi ride.
One way cable car plus one way Lantau taxi should be the prefect match for Lantau tour. But on the day with no cable car, Lantau taxi is the only easy way to go back and forth Big Buddha on the hilltop!
The Lantau taxi with special permit can bring clients to go to the Big Buddha from the southern part of Lantau Island easily and help clients to dodge the crowds at the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminus.
No feeding of cattle and buffalo reminder for visitors
Apart from seeing the natural landscape and life of native people, the blue taxi journey can become clients’ safari in Hong Kong as they can see the curious cattle outside the taxi.
Clients can see the cattle from the Lantau taxi.
