A few people don’t know this place in Hongkong. This place is
like China’s version of the Muslim’s Mecca. Before they die they must go here
to visit their God’s Temple and pray there. There are two ways to go to this
place. The 1st way is a cable
car ride which takes you 20 to 30 minute ride 1 way. A roundtrip
ticket will cost you about HKD 125 per adult; HKD
62 per child; and HKD 98 for seniors. The good thing about the
cable car ride is that you will see the whole view of Hongkong and its world
class airport. The other way is through hiking which will take
you 2 to 3 hours. The good thing about it is that is that there is a hiking
trail which is safe and it is also free. My cousin told me that hiking is
the new thing in Hongkong. It is not that tiring if you go hiking during the
winter season since it is very cold.
There are lot of things to see in Ngong Ping which
are the Giant Buddha, the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze
Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery. When you reach the end of the
Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride you will enter the Ngong Ping Village,
a culturally themed village which is at the Ngong Ping Plateau.
There are two main attractions at this village which are Walking
with Buddha and Monkey’s Tale Theatre. You can also find
many shops and restaurants to dine here.
NgongPing is not your mainstream destination in
Hongkong . Most of the tourists just go to Hongkong for shopping at their
favorite branded stores or just see Hongkong Disneyland and Ocean Park. This
place should be a major tourist destination since you will learn more about
Hongkong’s culture and religion after visiting this destination.
Ngong Ping is located in Lantau
Island. The Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal is located beside the City
Gate Outlet Mall near Tung Chung Train Station which
is just 5 minutes away from Hongkong Airport.
