    There was no queue for the standard carriage in the off-season, and the experience was very good. The whole journey took about 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The scenery was very beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters. The natural scenery of Hong Kong is really beautiful. I highly recommend everyone to experience the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car.

    Lantau Island is located in the southwest of Hong Kong, China. It is the largest island in Hong Kong, China, with an area of ​​147 square kilometers, which is nearly twice the area of ​​Hong Kong Island, the second largest island in Hong Kong. In the past, due to inconvenient transportation and far away from the urban area of ​​Hong Kong, Lantau Island has not been developed and is sparsely populated. With the completion of Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tsing Ma Bridge, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, etc., Lantau Island is connected to the urban area of ​​Hong Kong. Lantau Island has high terrain in the southwest and low terrain in the northeast. The main peak, Phoenix Mountain, is 935 meters above sea level, which is the second highest peak in Hong Kong, second only to Tai Mo Shan. Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, China, with an area of ​​147 square kilometers. It is equal to two Hong Kong Islands. The coastline here is long and tortuous, with harbors and beaches, mountains and flowing water, natural landscapes and historical sites complementing each other. There are more mountains and less flat land on Lantau Island, and only a small piece of flat land under the mountain stream. The most densely populated place on the island is Tai O Town in the southwest. The mountain is majestic and is known as "Ling Jue Ding". There is Luohan Temple at the foot of the mountain. The Luohan Cave and Luohan Spring in the temple are charming. There are Po Lin Monastery and "Tian Tan Buddha" on the west side of the mountain, the ancient castle of Qing Dynasty pirate Zhang Baozai on the north side, and the longest sea bathing beach on the southeast coast of Hong Kong coast - Cheung Sha Wan Fishery. Its main tourist attractions are: Po Lin Monastery, Tai O, Tsing Ma Bridge, Tian Tan Buddha, Ngong Ping 360, Ngong Ping Plaza, and Heart Sutra Forest. It is known as the Southern Buddhist Kingdom and is the first of the four major Zen temples in Hong Kong, China. Po Lin Monastery was built in 1924. Over the past decades, it has been managed hard to make the temple architecture magnificent, with palace-style Daxiong Hall and solemn and majestic Tianwang Hall. This temple provides accommodation so that tourists can go to Fenghuang Mountain to watch the sunrise or do a short retreat. On the top of Muyu Mountain, opposite the Zen temple archway, there is a newly built world's largest bronze Buddha statue, called Tian Tan Buddha. The statue was designed and made by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Department. It is nearly 34 meters tall and is a product that combines religious art with cutting-edge technology. The base of the Buddha has three floors, with exhibition halls, etc. Inside is a large bell with Buddha statues and scriptures carved on it. The bell is controlled by a computer and strikes once every seven minutes, a total of 108 times, so that people can "relieve 108 kinds of troubles." Tai O is known as the "Venice of Hong Kong, China." Tai O is located on an outlying island, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is less affected by urbanization, so it still retains the fishing village style of early Hong Kong, China. Tai O is beautiful and the elevated houses on the waterway, the stilt houses, are the homes of fishermen. Rivers and streams are orderly interspersed with rows of ancient stilt houses, setting off a unique fishing village style. Tai O's traditional salted fish, shrimp paste and fish maw are famous far and wide. When setting foot in Tai O, tourists will feel the strong smell of the sea. There used to be a cross-water ferry between Tai O and the main island of Lantau Island, which was one of the characteristics of Tai O, but it has now been eliminated.

    Ngong Ping is worth a visit. The 360-degree cable car ride is very comfortable. I also asked for a crystal ball photo album, which my parents liked very much. I prayed to Buddha for the safety and well-being of my family. I also ate Indian food. I thought I would not be able to adapt to the taste, but I didn’t expect everyone to think it was good 👍🏻

    It must be fine weather to play in such scenic spots. I bought the ticket online. After arriving at the scene, there is still a queue to change tickets. Because the online ticket window is not as many as the on-site ticket window. So it's faster to buy tickets on the spot. After getting the paper ticket. We have to queue up for the cable car. So go out and play. Queuing wastes a lot of time. I suggest you get up earlier. Eat breakfast near Tung Chung. Then queue up in advance. In the morning, when the temperature is not high, you can play at the Angping Fair, and then you can take a bus to Da'ao Fishing Village. It takes about 20 minutes to get on the bus. No taxi is recommended here. The taxi driver here is a clear slayer. Getting on the bus is two hundred Hong Kong dollars. The main way to the fishing village is to sell more dry goods in small streets. I suggest you not buy shrimp paste. You can buy some shrimp sauce. I bought shrimp cake because it was easy to carry. When I came back, I found it very, very unpleasant. Then to the fishing village is mainly to feel the life of fishermen. You can eat in the fishing village at noon. Then you can take a bus back to Angping Fair. Generally speaking, there will be inspirational performances in Angping Square. You can know the performance time well in advance. Then you can visit the Temple of Heaven Buddha. Spiritual bamboo slips. There is also the Buddhist Temple of Baolian. The Temple of Heaven Buddha, very large, has become a landmark building on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Standing at the foot of the Buddha, you can see the distant coastline, which is also very beautiful. Baolian Zen Temple is also very magnificent. In the past, there were some monks reciting sutras. The scene was also very shocking. Near Baolian Zen Temple and at the foot of Tiantan Buddha. There are a lot of shops selling Shanshui tofu. To go to Lantau Island, you must try landscape tofu. Very tender. Then you can try the authentic fish balls. You can take a cable car down the hill by sunset. It's very pleasant to sit on the cable car and watch the sunset. You can also see Hong Kong Airport from the cable car. Come to Tung Chung. You can take a turn at the nearby Dongyicheng Mall. The discounts are very strong here. When we go, we buy shoes, just like we don't need money. Dongyicheng Mall has about three or four floors. We didn't finish shopping because we were going back to the city. What's more, when you travel in Hong Kong, you can carry a water cup with you. Many tourist attractions offer free drinking water. Buying water here basically starts at 20 yuan. And cash only. There is no way to pay for Alipay and WeChat on Lantau Island.

    Central Terminal 6 arrives at Meiwo 15 yuan by boat, and arrives at Lantau Pier (5 p.m.) an hour later. Ask if the last boat arrives at the bus stop after 11 o'clock. There is no bus to Dafo Temple. Because the cable car on Rain Island stops and the local people choose to take the bus to Daao after inquiring about it. It has a beautiful sea view through Changsha Beach. Along the way, cattle can find food on the roadside, relax and have no time relationship. Getting off the bus, arriving at Da'ao at 6 o'clock, the rain stopped and the sun came out. We visited the fishing village together. The villagers were very simple. There were all kinds of seafood on the street. The dogs were sleeping quietly on the ground. The villagers were sitting quietly or standing idly. The boats were docked in the harbour. Maybe it was near the night, and the market closed. What presented to us was a quiet fishing village. The photo tour lasted more than an hour. It took us only 40 minutes to get back to the wharf by car at 7:30 in the fishing village. It took us 35 yuan per person on the 9 o'clock speedboat to the Zhonghuan wharf. Then we took a boat from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. There are still several scenic spots on Lantau Island that have not been visited due to time. Next time, please visit again.

    In 1993, the opening of the Temple of Heaven Buddha raised the tourism visibility of Lantau Island. In fact, the Pauline Temple is well known in Hong Kong, including the Daxiong Palace and the Wanfo Palace. In the past, Tsing Ma Bridge, , to Lantau Island, from Central to Meiwo by boat, and then by bus to go up the hill, many people in Hong Kong have had this experience: _______________ In addition to Buddhas and temples, most visitors overlook another scenic spot - quot; Xinjing Jianlin - quot; as a special reminder, don't miss it. On the hillside, a series of wooden scriptures are carved with quot, Prajna Boromido's heart scriptures are quot, which are shocked by the distance, and then go up to the next level. The scriptures are even bigger and the road is only a small hillside. When you come to the Buddha, you will see a pavilion (see photo) facing the Buddha's left hand. You will see a stone tablet along the path. After passing the path, you will see a bifurcated road to the right. About 200 meters, you will see the Phoenix Viewing the Sun. The right hand is the Confucian Sutra of Mind. After reading the heart sutra, Jane Lin came out and then went up to 240 levels to watch the Temple of Heaven Buddha. Up to the top, you can overlook the sea and beautiful scenery. It is completely free, such as 98 yuan for each vegetarian dish, 138 yuan for two people. It's also a good place to take a bus to Da'ao at the Shanshan Bus Station. Look at the fishing village which cherishes the day. Only at night can we take a bus back to Tung Chung Metro Station. We don't have to rush too fast to get to and from there at night.

    Unexpectedly, Hong Kong has such a good place to go! Starting from Causeway Bay, there are three subways down the hill. Crystal cable car is a super wise choice, 360 degrees along the way to view the scenery, sea, sky, mountains, overlooking the Temple of Heaven Buddha and Hong Kong Airport and Temple of Heaven Buddha. When we got off the cable car, it was still foggy and rainy, and the visibility seemed to be less than 10 meters. But after walking for one or two hundred meters, the fog had all dispersed and the rain had stopped. The Buddha was right in front of us. My Buddha is so handsome!

    I chose the crystal car Taobao to buy tickets. The queue saved a lot of time. Otherwise, we would really queue up to death. We went to 8 people in the morning, one car in the afternoon, two people in the car. No one queued up at 2:00. You can see that we did not have a deep play in Lantau Island. We went to the gate and strolled around the next time we had a chance to go in depth.
