DAY THREE Discover Lantau Island

Ngong Ping 360

Escape the city and experience the natural and cultural wonders of Lantau, Hong Kong’s largest island. This is home to Ngong Ping 360, the popular cable car ride that transports riders over the serene green landscape with spectacular ocean vistas. The Crystal Cabins even feature glass floors for the ultimate bird’s-eye view! Ngong Ping Village offers a wealth of other attractions and activities including a cultural centre, plenty of retail outlets and multiple dining options.

The Big Buddha And Po Lin Monastery

An iconic landmark on the Lantau landscape, Tian Tan Buddha (more commonly known as the “Big Buddha”) is a huge bronze statue that sits 34 metres high and can be reached by climbing 268 steps. Located nearby is Po Lin Monastery, which was established in 1906.

TAI-O

The quaint fishing village of Tai-O feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Hong Kong. Perched on stilts above the water at the mouth of the Tai-O River, this charming community features narrow streets, bridges and heritage-listed buildings including centuries-old temples and pre-war shophouses. This is also a natural paradise and a haven of ecotourism; a local boat trip can take you into the river estuary and coastal mangroves. Don’t miss the chance to try local seafood.
