Lantau Island - Tai Yu Shan

Tai Yu Shan aka Lantau island is hong kong biggest island, with famous attractions like Disneyland and Tian Tan Buddha. For this Lantau island trip, we followed the most popular route suggested by one of the hong kong blogger. The route was Tung Chung --> Ngo Ping 360 --> Buddha --> Tai O --> Tung Chung. We took MTR from Chuen Wan to Tung Chung. Next to Tung Chung Station was this Citygate Outlets (plz see my earlier posted blog) where you could buy a lot of off season branded products at great discounts! Ngo Ping 360 cable car station situated right here too!


The long Q...

We bought our one way cable car + one day bus pass package for HK$76(HK$98 for Sunday) at the small counter next to the escalator leading to the cable car station. Because we want to experince the road side scenery all the way from Tung Chung to Tai O.

On the way up to the buddha hill, we will pass thru Ngo Ping Village. It was pretty much built for tourists. Many shops selling souvenirs and restaurants.. To get to the Tian Tan Buddha, we had no choice but to pass through all the shophouses. Business Strategy.

This would be my most recommended dessert restaurant to all my friends when they are here.. :) This restaurant served many delicious desserts! :) Yummy!!









It was a sunny day.. Many people are carrying umbrella..

The long staircase to the Tian Tan Buddha. I think it is around 300 steps..


We could see the buddha from the cable car.. Even it is from far.. This moment i can't wait to reach there immediately! :P

The ride to the Big Buddha in Dai Yue Shan via the cable car (Ngong Ping 360) is fun and blessed with spectacular view.



Cable cars are lining up..

Me enjoying the view form the cable car...
