Full description

The Ngong Ping 360 cable car is one of the most dramatic rides in Hong Kong. From Tung Chung station the cabins cross the water of Tung Chung Bay, swing over the airport lagoon and then climb steeply over the green ridges of Lantau, with views back over the South China Sea, before setting down at Ngong Ping village about 25 minutes later.

At the top you are free to explore: walk up the steps to the giant bronze Tian Tan Buddha, visit Po Lin Monastery with its incense-filled courtyards, and follow the Wisdom Path in the hills behind. This ticket covers the round trip in a standard cabin; ask us about a glass-floored cabin or a combination with other Lantau sights when you enquire.
