HongKong Lantau Island - Tung Chung - Ngong Ping Cable Car

Our plan for our last full day in Hong Kong was to visit Hong Kong Lantau Island to get a feel of Hong Kong's largest island and to enjoy some great Hong Kong sightseeing.

Kowloon Station

First stop:- Kowloon Station

Kowloon to Tung Chung

Here we purchased a ticket on the Tung Chung line all the way to Tung Chung station on Lantau Island.

Arriving at Tung Chung Station

As this was our first time to Lantau Island, we were not sure how to find our way.  What we did was look out for signboards along the way and here are some of them.

Signboard to Ngong Ping 360

We headed for Ngong Ping 360

And followed the Ngong Ping 360 signs

Here's another Ngong Ping 360 sign

Holiday travel tips:-
Being a Saturday, there was a pretty long queue for the cable car as can be seen in the picture below.  So if you would like to 'cut' the queue and are not too budget conscious, do opt for the crystal cabin cable car as we realized that we did not have to wait as long as for the standard cabin cable car.

Holiday travel tips:-
Do bring along a camera with a good zoom if you love to take pictures.  From Tower 2B, you will be treated to a breathtaking view of Tung Chung Bay.  Also, you can get a spectacular view of Hong Kong International Airport from Tower 3.  Not forgetting the magnificent view of the Giant Buddha as you approach closer to Ngong Ping 360.
