Ngong Ping Cable Car is one of Hong Kong’s premier attractions and, while not cheap, if you’re in town for a few days it really shouldn’t be missed. The big pull of the Ngong Ping Cable Car is the breathtaking views over the thick green peaks of Lantau and the shining South China Sea. At the top of the cable car ride awaits the amazing 110ft Tian Tan Giant Buddha, one of the biggest in the world
The Ngong Ping is a gondola cable car that travels 5.7km between Tung Chung Town Centre and Ngong Ping Village on Lantau Island. The journey takes around 25 minutes. Each car carries up to seventeen people, with seats for ten, you may request to only board a car with seats available.
The cable car offers outstanding views over the lush greenery of Lantau as well as the glimmering South China Sea. The views really are stunning and offer a unique opportunity to grab a bird eye’s view of Hong Kong’s often overlooked green jungle.
At the Ngong Ping Village you’ll find one of Hong Kong’s most impressive attractions, a giant bronze statue of Buddha nestled amongst the trees. Part of the Po Lin Monastery complex, the Tian Tan Buddha stands at a towering 110ft and weighs in at over 200 tons, making it one of the biggest Buddha statues in the world. It’s truly a jaw dropping scene.
