A bird’s eye view of Ngong Ping

Get ready for a visually stunning tour of Ngong Ping village from the cable car. During your 25-minute cable car ride from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping, you’ll see beautiful sites like Tung Chung Bay, the limitless South China Sea, and the Tian Tan Buddha! Upgrade your cable car to the Crystal Cabin to enjoy privacy during your ride and to view the Ngong Ping plateau from another vantage point - through the glass bottom.

Boat excursions, exploring monasteries, and more!

After an exhilarating ride in the cabin car, unleash your inner explorer for a guided tour of Lantau Island. Embark on a tour with a guide fluent in English/Putonghua/Cantonese as you see multiple attractions on the island. Leave for Tai O, a historic fishing village, and enjoy a relaxing 20-minute boat excursion. Here, you’ll ride through intricate waterways, see traditional stilt houses built by the Tanka people, and get a chance to explore one.

Your next stop is the Po Lin Monastery, home to the famed Tian Tan Buddha. Established in 1906, the Po Lin Monastery is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Explore the three different hallways – the Hall of Skanda Bodhisattva, the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha, and the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas featuring various renditions and sculptures of Buddha. You have the rest of the day to explore Ngong Ping at your own pace before returning to the cable car terminal at 6pm for your trip back to Tung Chung.
