Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to experience the scenery of the suburbs of Hong Kong

In addition to the Peak Tram and the Star Ferry on Hong Kong Island, if you have the opportunity to visit Lantau Island, you must not miss the opportunity to take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car.

The Ngong Ping 360 cable car connecting Tung Chung to Ngong Ping Market was once selected as one of the top ten best cable car journeys in the world. If you also want to enjoy the scenery of the outskirts of Hong Kong, you can also have the opportunity to take the panoramic cable car with a fully transparent design , I believe it will bring a completely different experience to your itinerary for the day.

In addition, when you arrive at Ngong Ping Market, you don't have to take the Ngong Ping cable car back to Tung Chung immediately, but you can arrange a half-day itinerary to visit the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. By the way, you can also take a bus to Tai O Fishing Village to experience the life of a traditional fishing village, enjoy the traditional food of Tai O, and spend a little time visiting the cats in Tai O. I believe you can experience the difference of Hong Kong in one day side!

Summarize

Is the Ngong Ping 360 cable car worth a ride? If you have never visited Ngong Ping and the Big Buddha, Ngong Ping 360 cable car is absolutely worth taking. Especially when you pass the airport, you can enjoy the picture of the plane taking off and taking off, and you can have the opportunity to take the crystal car, which is already very worthwhile.

Of course, if your itinerary is mainly to visit the Tai O fishing village, then it may not be very important to take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car. However, since I came to Tung Chung and arranged for half a day to experience the natural scenery of Lantau Island, I might as well buy a ticket for the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. It is also a good choice to have something to eat at Ngong Ping Market, and then slowly set off to Tai O .
