Dogs and Buffalos
There are three locations you need to be aware of the village dogs 🐕 that could show an aggressive behaviour within their territory, especially at night.
- Ngong Ping
- Tai O village
- Shum Wut
Recommendations:
- Do not run but hike in presence of a barking dog
- Hold a water bottle, if the dog gets too close, you may splash the water on the dog to scare it
- Hold your trekking pole
Water buffalos 🐃 are protected animals on Lantau island. They are generally not aggressive and will slowly move away 🙂. Keep an eye when passing a buffalo who shares the trail with you.
