Don’t miss the visit to Big Buddha and the amazing crystal cable car

Embark on an unforgettable journey to one of Hong Kong's most iconic landmarks – the Tian Tan Buddha, affectionately known as the Big Buddha. Paired with an exhilarating ride on the Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car, this adventure promises breathtaking views and spiritual experiences. 📜 A Glimpse into History The Big Buddha, completed in 1993, stands proudly on Lantau Island. This massive bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni is 34 meters tall and weighs over 250 metric tons. It symbolizes the harmonious relationship between man, nature, and religion. The statue faces north, looking over the Chinese people, and is a major center of Buddhism in Hong Kong. ⏰ Visiting Hours and Booking Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car operates from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM on weekends and public holidays. The Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery are open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Advance booking is highly recommended for the cable car, especially if you want to experience the Crystal Cabin with its glass-bottom floor, offering stunning views of the lush landscape below. You can book tickets online through the Ngong Ping 360 official website. 🚍 Getting There by Public Transport Traveling to the Big Buddha and Ngong Ping 360 from Central is straightforward. Here’s the easiest route: 1. MTR: Take the MTR Tung Chung Line from Hong Kong Station to Tung Chung Station. 2. Cable Car: From Tung Chung Station, it's a short walk to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Terminal. Board the cable car for a scenic 25-minute ride to Ngong Ping Village. Alternatively, you can take bus 23 from Tung Chung Town Centre to Ngong Ping Village, but the cable car ride is highly recommended for the full experience. 🌻 Whether you’re a spiritual pilgrim, a culture enthusiast, or an adventurer at heart, visiting the Big Buddha and riding the Crystal Cable Car is an experience like no other. --- Book your tickets, plan your visit, and get ready to be inspired by the awe-inspiring beauty and serenity of the Big Buddha and Ngong Ping 360. 🌄🙏✨ #bigbuddha #cablecarviews #hongkongtrip
