Tranquility in the hot season! Lantau Island in Hong Kong is highly recommended!

On Lantau Island in Hong Kong, there is a secluded and tranquil place: Ngong Ping Lantau Island. The Lantau Island scenic area is free of charge, but the attractions are a bit far from the city center. You can choose to take the Lantau bus or the cable car to get there. ✅ Must experience: Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ❤ Recommended reason: One of the 'Top Ten Best Cable Car Journeys in the World', the cable car connects Tung Chung and Ngong Ping. It is 5.7 kilometers long and takes about 25 minutes for the whole journey. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the South China Sea and the North Lantau Country Park from afar. During the trip, you can see the sea, forests, a panoramic view of Hong Kong International Airport, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. It is also the fastest way from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping. 🌟 Highlight features: There are three types of cable car cabins: standard cabin/crystal cabin/panoramic cable car. For those who are not afraid of heights, the crystal and panoramic cable cars are highly recommended. The crystal cable car has a glass bottom, and the panoramic cable car has glass on all sides and the bottom. 📝 Note tips: If you set off at noon, you can buy a one-way ticket. In the evening, watch the sunset in Tai O fishing village, then take a minibus back to Tung Chung MTR station. 👍 Most recommended: Ngong Ping Market 🌟 Highlight features: Right after getting off the cable car is the Ngong Ping Market, where you can choose from a variety of cuisines including Central Asian, Japanese, and Hong Kong. There are also murals, fortune cats, wishing trees, and other photo spots where you can eat and take pictures at the same time. 👍 Most recommended: Tian Tan Buddha 🌟 Highlight features: Following the Ngong Ping Market, you will reach the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery! The Tian Tan Buddha is located on Mount Muk Yue on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It is the world's tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha. The Buddha is 26.4 meters tall, and with the three-story pedestal, the total height is nearly 34 meters, which is about 11-12 stories high, very spectacular. 🚉 Transportation strategy: To visit the above attractions, you must first reach Ngong Ping Market: 🚢 Take a ferry from Central Pier No. 6 to Mui Wo, which takes about 35 to 55 minutes; after disembarking, transfer to bus No. 2 at the bus terminal to Ngong Ping Market, which takes about 40 minutes. 🚌 Take bus No. 23 from the bus terminal at Exit B of Tung Chung MTR station to Ngong Ping Market, which takes about 50 minutes. 🚡 Take the cable car (Ngong Ping 360) from the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal at Exit B of Tung Chung MTR station to Ngong Ping Cable Car Station, which takes about 25 minutes. 🚶🏻 Starting from the plaza, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to Tian Tan Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, and the Heart Sutra Woods following the signs.
