Except Hong Kong Disneyland, there is tourist spots worthy going in Lantau Island. It is 34 metre high Giant Buddha, which is world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha statue. We would call it as Tian Tan Buddha and regard as Sakyamuni Buddha. You can reach there by taking cable car and go through 268 steps to reach the Buddha finally.
First of all, for the 5.7 km long cable car Ngong Ping 360 °, you will be able to have the panoramic view of Lantau Island including Tian Tan Big Buddha, the flora and fauna of North Lantau Country Park, Tung Chung Bay and the Hong Kong International Airport. Crystal cable car has been offered to you for a better experience.

The food looks good ! And the view from the crystal cabin floor does make it seem like you're standing on the grass. Will try that next time when I have visitors.
回覆刪除The crystal cable car is quite interesting. By the way, I suggest that you could find some package offered by travel agent, there are some local 1 day tour including crystal cable car occasionally.
