The standard carriages in the off-season are not queued. The experience is very good. The whole journey takes about 20 minutes to the top of the mountain. The scenery is very beautiful. The green mountains and green waters. The natural scenery in Hong Kong is really beautiful. It is recommended that you experience the Ngong Ping 360 cable car.

    Lantau Island is located in the southwest of Hong Kong, China, the largest island in Hong Kong, with an area of 147 square kilometers, nearly twice the size of Hong Kong Island, China's second largest island. Lantau has been undeveloped and sparsely populated due to the inconvenience of transportation and distance from the city of Hong Kong. With the completion of Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong Disneyland, Tsing Ma Bridge, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, etc., Lantau has been connected to the city of Hong Kong. Lantau Island, the terrain is high and steep in the southwest, the northeast is low, the main peak Phoenix Mountain is 935 meters above sea level, is the second highest in Hong Kong, after Tai Mo Shan. Lantau 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 twisty, with the harbor and beaches, mountains and flowing water, natural landscapes and historical monuments. Lantau Island has more flat land, only a small flat land under the mountain stream. The most concentrated place on the island is the town of Tai O in the southwest. The mountain is magnificent, known as "Ling Jeding". There are Luohan Temple under the mountain, Luohan Cave and Luohan Spring in the temple are charming. To the west of the mountain is the Po Lian Temple and the "Big Buddha of Heaven", to the north is the castle of Zhang Baozai, a pirate of the Qing Dynasty, and the southeast coast has the longest beach on the coast of Hong Kong - Changsha Bay fishing ground. Its main tourist attractions are: Baolian Temple, Tai O, Qingma Bridge, Temple of Heaven Buddha, Ngong Ping 360, Ngong Ping Square, and Xinjing Jianlin. It is known as the South Tianzhu Kingdom and is the first of the four Zen Forests in Hong Kong, China. Built in 1924, the temple has been operating for decades, making the temple magnificent, with the palace-style grand palace and the majestic temple of the emperor. The temple provides accommodation for visitors to visit Phoenix Mountain to watch the sunrise or for a short renovation. On the top of the Muyu Mountain, opposite the Temple archway, there is a newly built world's largest bronze Buddha statue, called the Temple of Heaven. The statue was designed and produced by the Chinese Ministry of Aerospace Science and Technology, with a total height of nearly 34 meters, which is a crystallization product combining religious art and cutting-edge technology. The three floors of the base of the Big Buddha are equipped with exhibition halls, including a large clock, carved Buddha statues and scriptures. The clock is controlled by a computer and is struck every seven minutes for a total of 108 times for people to "relieve 108 troubles". Tai O has the reputation of "Venice, Hong Kong, China". Tai O is located on the outlying island, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and is less affected by urbanization, so it still retains the early fishing village style of Hong Kong, China. Tai O is beautiful and the elevated house on the waterway is a residence for fishermen. Rivers and surgings are interspersed in rows of ancient shed buildings, which show a unique fishing village style. Tai O's traditional salted fish, shrimp sauce and fish belly are famous. Visitors will feel the strong taste of the sea when they step into Tai O. A cross-water crossing between Tai O and the island of Lantau was built, which is also one of the characteristics of Tai O, but has now been eliminated.

    Ngong Ping is worth seeing. The 360 cable car is very comfortable to sit up. I also have a crystal ball album. My parents like it very much. I worship Buddha and ask for peace and happiness. I also ate Indian food. I thought it would not adapt to the taste. I didn’t expect everyone to feel 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.
