WE FLEW JUST TO SEE THE BIG BUDDHA IN HK!!! 🚠🚠🚠 @ NGONG PING 360

its the first time of the whole family to board the NGONG PING 360 and boy, we were all nervous at one pace. 😂😂😂 getting to the Big Buddha at the end of the cable car ride was super worth it. the ride was like 25minutes or so... (i dont know how high we were from the ground) we were anxious, nervous at first, no let me take it back... nervous up to the end of the line HAHAHHAHA! but we had a good time. it was fun and bucket list material. 👍 paid like 1000+++ HK dollars for the 5 of us. (two~way) after alighting from the cable car, we walked into the Ngong Ping town (which has a lot of cafes and restaurants) and towards that 268 stone steps hike up to Big Buddha of Lantau HK. truly a memorable experience for the whole fam! 💜 #familytravel #wheninhongkong

Big Buddha

#familytrips2024 Our family trip to the Big Buddha in Hong Kong was a spiritual and awe-inspiring experience. Located on Lantau Island, the journey to the statue involved a scenic cable car ride, offering breathtaking views of the island's lush landscape and the South China Sea. Upon reaching the site, we climbed the 268 steps to the massive bronze statue, standing majestically against the sky. The serene atmosphere and the panoramic views from the top provided a sense of tranquility and connection. Exploring the Po Lin Monastery nearby, we learned about Buddhist culture and history, making it a deeply enriching and memorable family outing. Our next dream destination is Kyoto, Japan. We envision exploring ancient temples, serene gardens, and experiencing the delicate art of a traditional tea ceremony. The blend of cultural heritage and modern attractions promises an enriching adventure for the whole family, filled with new stories and cherished memories.

The Big Buddha, Lantau, HK

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without a visit to the big Buddha. The location of the big Buddha is within the larger tourist attraction of Ngong Ping 360. They run the Ngong Ping cable car and Ngong Ping village. The easiest and most popular way to get here is by mtr to Tung Chung station and switching to cable car to reach Ngong Ping village. The cable car ride is an experience by itself and it is the longest bi-cable rope way in Asia. It spans 5.7km and the journey takes 25 mins, taking you over the sea and mountain, giving you spectacular views of HK, including the airport and the Hk-Macau-zhuhai bridge. From the village, the Buddha is a 10 mins walk away and along the way, there are eateries for you to eat and shops for you to shop. the Buddha is next to Po Lin Monastery (which built it) and the monastery itself is worth a visit. You will then need to climb 268 steps to reach the base of the Buddha. It is well worth the climb as the base of the Buddha offers you spectacular views of the Buddha itself and the surrounding area. A must visit when you come to Hong Kong! #familytrips2024

Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Ride!

It’s spectacular view! Nice but expensive! The soya pudding is soft and nice! Also expensive for us as it’s something very affordable in our home country. However it’s alright for a once lifetime experience. #bigbuddha #Hongkong
