Fly over Lantau Island with a ticket for the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car. When you reach the top after the 25-minute ride, you can explore the attractions at your leisure. Visit Po Lin Monastery, Ngong Ping Village, the Wisdom Path, and Tian Tan Buddha, a.k.a. Big Buddha. When booking, select either a one-way or round-trip ride with the option to upgrade to a Crystal Cabin, which features a glass bottom.
The Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride is a visually spectacular 3-mile (5.7-km) journey between Tung Chung Town Centre and Ngong Ping Village on Lantau Island. Use your voucher to redeem your pass (mobile admission accepted), and then pose for a photo taken by a photographer as soon as you board the cable car.
Watch as views of the South China Sea and the rolling grassland slopes of North Lantau Country Park replace the buzz of Hong Kong. Take in these serene and natural surroundings for which Lantau is famed, and see Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) come into view on the Ngong Ping Plateau. At the top, enjoy admission to Po Lin Monastery and the giant wooden steles of the Wisdom Trail.
You have your choice of booking a one-way or round-trip ride on a standard cabin or glass-bottom Crystal Cabin. Or, select one type of cable car transport one way and the other for the return.
