Encounter the breathtaking scenery of Lantau Island on the Ngong Ping Trail

Between Ngong Ping and Tung Chung lies a little-known romantic path—the Ngong Ping 360 Rescue Trail, also known as the Ngong Ping Trail. This hidden gem is perfect for couples to explore together, experiencing the unique charm of nature and urban landscapes intertwined. The rescue trail serves as an emergency, escape, and maintenance route for the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, but it is also open to the public as a hiking trail. Some sections of the trail are wooden boardwalks, which make a pleasant, crisp sound as you walk on them. The entire route is very easy to navigate, making it suitable even for novice hikers. Starting near the Ngong Ping Village, the majestic Tian Tan Buddha stands quietly. Along the way, you can see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge stretching like a giant dragon over the water, the bustling Hong Kong International Airport with planes taking off and landing, and the Tuen Mun New Town and Castle Peak across the sea, creating a poetic landscape. The most unique aspect is that you walk almost the entire route under the cable car, occasionally looking up to see the cable cars gliding by, adding a special touch to your journey. 💡 Hiking Guide: 📍 Starting Point: Near the cable car station at Ngong Ping Village, accessible by taking bus 11/23 from Tung Chung. 📍 Ending Point: Citygate Outlets/Tung Chung Station, where you can enjoy a meal after your hike. 📏 Hiking Distance: 7.74 km, with the Ngong Ping Trail covering about 5.7 km, featuring many photo-worthy spots along the way. ⏰ Duration: 2 hours and 50 minutes, giving you plenty of time to walk leisurely and savor the scenery.
