In February 2024, I embarked on an unforgettable journey aboard the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. This iconic attraction promised breathtaking views and an immersive experience, and it certainly did not disappoint. As the cable car gently ascended, I was treated to panoramic vistas of Lantau Island's stunning landscapes below. The journey was a feast for the senses, offering sweeping views of verdant mountains, azure waters, and picturesque villages nestled among the hills. It was a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing me to immerse myself in the natural beauty of Hong Kong's countryside. One of the highlights of the experience was passing over the awe-inspiring Ngong Ping Plateau, home to the renowned Tian Tan Buddha statue. The sight of the majestic bronze Buddha, surrounded by lush greenery and serene surroundings, was truly awe-inspiring. It was a moment of contemplation and reflection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The journey concluded with a visit to Ngong Ping Village, where I had the opportunity to explore traditional architecture, enjoy cultural performances, and sample local delicacies. The village provided a charming glimpse into the heritage and customs of the region, adding depth to the overall experience. Overall, my time aboard the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car was a captivating and enriching experience. From the breathtaking views to the cultural insights gained along the way, it was a journey that left a lasting impression. Whether you're a nature lover, a cultural enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car offers an unforgettable adventure above the scenic splendor of Lantau Island.
We have been on a lot of gondolas around the world and this one is worth the price of admission We arrived at 10 am on a Sunday morning and didn’t have to wait in line for very long. We chose the gondola with a glass bottom for the 25 minute ride going up and a regular gondola going down. We were lucky to have only a few other people in our cabin with us as it holds 17 adult passengers. The views are great and we got off at the top near the big Tian Tan Buddha. We walked through the Ngong Ping Village which was nothing to write home about. The walk up all the steps to be close to the big Buddha was also worth the climb. We spent about an hour at the site to take photos and enjoy the views. Go early to avoid the crowds.
Biggest tourist trap ever. Don’t get me wrong, the cable car is fun and an adventure but everything else is just mid. Besides, you pay at least 30 dollars for a round trip with the cable car and we had to wait 40 minutes before boarding. It wasn’t even in the weekend. Single journey is adviced, or do your return early in the afternoon.
Me and my family had a great time on the cable car experience. A highlight of our trip to Hong Kong for the first time. We were greeted by helpful and friendly staff on the way and on the way back. The peaceful and serene trip was one in a lifetime. Thank you to the hard workers making sure we made it to and from Lantau island safely.
I enjoyed a free ride because it was my birthday! 😇💜😎 It was truly a magical experience. I felt like floating up in the air. The whole trip was beautiful and very relaxing. I recommend this trip to everyone. You will love it! No doubt. Thank you Ngong Ping 360 for giving me such a wonderful and memorable gift on my big day.😘
