Solace away from the city

Lantau Island offers an oasis of calm away from Hong Kongs hectic city center, and yet it also offers abundant amenities and tourist attractions to keep one happy. The most famous attraction on the island is the Giant Buddha which can be reach by bus or, in much more exciting fashion, on one of the world's longest cable car systems! The cable car is not cheap, but it is an experience of its own, with magnificent views even when the weather is cloudy. Once visitors arrive at the Giant Buddha they are welcomed by assorted local and international restaurants and shops, however the best value food can be found within the temple itself, where there is a vegetarian restaurant.
