Temple Hunting on Lantau Island Hong Kong

If you are interested in a bit of temple hunting and off the beaten path type adventures then be sure to go back over to Lantau Island and only a walks worth away from the Buddha are the dedicated temples. We we’re told that we were not allowed to take pictures inside of the temples because it would be dishonorable however we were definitely surprised with the amount of gold we saw inside the temples not only because of the designs of the figurines of the Buddhas but also because of the amount of the figurines was plentiful. The history of this island can most definitely be felt here so please be sure to visit. #hongkong #lantauisland #temples

Hong Kong adventure? Absolutely! 🚠 I did a day trip out to Lantau Island—hit up the iconic Ngong Ping 360 cable car, squeezed in some hiking, and watched the sunset golden hour that totally lit up my feed. 🌅 Top Spots to Visit: - Ngong Ping 360: Start your day with this epic cable car ride from Tung Chung to the Ngong Ping Village—panoramic views of the island and South China Sea are next-level! - Lantau Island: The island’s hiking trails are open all day (Hong Kong Outlying Islands, Lantau Island)—do the wisdom trail loop or trek toward Sunset Peak for killer scenery. - Sunset Watch: Head up the hiking path about 1.5 hours before sunset for those golden hour pics (seriously, don’t forget your power bank for the phone-cam marathon). Personal tips: Book your Ngong Ping 360 tickets on trip.com ahead of time to skip the queues! If you want a more chill hike, bring light snacks and some extra water—Lantau’s breezy but the hills can be real. For the sunset, hang out at the higher lookouts, your Insta will thank you. Getting there & Around: Catch the MTR to Tung Chung, then walk to Ngong Ping 360 terminal. Cable car drops you straight at the village for easy hiking access. Local buses also cruise all over the island if you need a backup plan. What to Eat: Grab a tofu pudding in Ngong Ping Village—famous for a reason! Or refuel with noodles at a tiny shop after your hike. Extra tips: No visa needed for most travelers. Hong Kong dollar cash is easiest. Weather? Humidity’s real, so pack a light layer. #hkonbudget #LantauIsland #NgongPing360 #HongKongHikes #GoldenHour #tripdotcom
