If you plan to arrange a 3-hour trip to come to Tung Chung to experienceNgong Ping 360 Cable Car, and it is not necessary to take the bus back to Tung Chung immediately after arriving at Ngong Ping Station. Because in addition to enjoying the scenery along the way, you can also spend a little time shopping in Ngong Ping Market.

If you go to Ngong Ping Market for the first time, you may feel that it is an overly commercialized place. But from our point of view, if it takes a lot of time to take the cable car to Ngong Ping, but there is no restaurant or place to buy souvenirs, if it is just for visiting the Big Buddha, I am afraid that even the Big Buddha You don't even think about paying homage, but take the cable car back to Tung Chung directly. I even skipped the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car and spent my time on other attractions.

So sometimes it is necessary to make a trade-off between commercialization and culture. However, Ngong Ping Village does have a lot of room for improvement. I hope you will have a different experience when you come next time.

Because it is not easy to encounter bison in Hong Kong, but there are many bison resting near Ngong Ping Market, and it is very interesting just to see them grazing. But I also want to remind you here that these cows are only suitable for viewing from a distance and cannot be touched. At the same time, try to keep a certain distance from them. Because only in this way can we ensure that we will not be harmed by bison, and at the same time protect their living habits from being disturbed.

Simply put, it is enough to watch the bison from a distance. These bison will find their own food, and we don't need to feed them some food that is not good for them.
