Big Buddha in Hong Kong

I have always heard of the big Buddha in Hong Kong and I am so glad I actually went to visit it. To get to Big Buddha, which is on the lantau island, there are 2 ways to access it. One is to take ferry and then a bus, which is more troublesome, or two which is to take a cable car up. The answer is obvious and I chose to take the ngong ping 360, which is their cable car up and this cable car ride is also a tourist attraction in Hong Kong. The ride gives you a magnificent view of Hong Kong, the big Buddha and the mountains surrounding it. Once you reach the top, be prepared to climb a long long flight of stairs which leads to big Buddha. There, you will see devotees praying to Buddha and you can get a sense of peace. Overall, it was a great experience and the sights are just awesome. #meethongkong

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
