Lantau Island: Big Buddha, Crystal Cabin Cable Car and Tai O Village

Overview

Leave the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong behind for a day on Lantau Island, combining nature, spirituality, and local traditions. The journey begins with a spectacular ascent aboard the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, offering panoramic views of the South China Sea and the surrounding mountains. The itinerary includes a visit to Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha), as well as a stop at Ngong Ping Village and Oriental Heritage. You will also discover the fishing village of Tai O during a boat trip to observe the traditional stilt houses. Two options are available: a shared bus tour (up to 22 seats) with a vegetarian lunch included, or a private van tour in a Toyota Alphard (up to 6 people) with a choice between a vegetarian meal or a local seafood lunch. Both options include the glass-bottom Crystal Cabin ticket.
