#100waysoftravel The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. If you have watched the famous Hong Kong movie “Infernal Affairs”, you may recognise this iconic place as HK best “fengshui” place🤣 The majestic outdoor bronze Buddha was cast with 250 tonnes of bronze and built over 12 years. You will need to climb the 258 steps to the top if you want to approach it nearer. There is an exhibition inside with air conditioning. The view is stunning from the top too! I think this is one of the best places to visit in Hong Kong. It’s accessible via the Ngong Ping cable car or bus. #hongkongtravelguide #hongkong

⭐ After visiting Hong Kong multiple times, I've discovered many hidden gems of activities. From the panoramic crystal cable car that spans mountains and seas to the sunset roller coaster that leads to the seaside, and the secluded life in a small fishing village, each spot has healed my soul. ⭐ If you have the chance to visit Hong Kong, be sure to set aside a day to experience the beauty of Hong Kong Island. Not only is there a rich cultural history, but there are also countless beautiful sights waiting for you. ✅ About the Sunset Bus The Sunset Bus is an open-top sightseeing bus that used to only be available in the city, but now it's also on Lantau Island. Sitting on the bus chasing the sunset, watching the sun slowly set from the sea level, and occasionally seeing planes pass by, it's super like playing the sunset roller coaster in 'Grand Theft Auto', so beautiful it's moving 😭. 【Bus Route: Starting point Ngong Ping 360→Disney→11SKIES→Airport Maintenance Area→Ngong Ping 360】 🔸 For those who want to watch the sunset, remember to take the 16:30 bus, departing after purchasing tickets at Ngong Ping 360. When the bus reaches the Airport Maintenance Area, it's the most beautiful moment of the sunset. ✅ One-Day Tour Recommendation The attractions are all near Ngong Ping 360, take the cable car to the mountaintop in the morning (a panoramic crystal cable car that spans the sea and mountains, the whole journey is 25 minutes, very spectacular, every frame is like a blockbuster). There are markets, Po Lin Monastery, and the Big Buddha on the mountaintop, all worth a visit. 🔸 At noon, you can take a 7-dollar bus to Tai O fishing village (a small fishing village built on river water, known as the 'Venice of Hong Kong') 🔸 In the evening, you can take a sightseeing car at the cable car place to chase a sunset at sea, be sure to take the 16:30 bus. 🕰 Route Recommendation Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car→Ngong Ping Market→Big Buddha→Tai O Fishing Village→Panoramic Cable Car Return Trip→Sunset Bus🚌 📍 Address: Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car 🚇 Subway: Tung Chung Station Exit B, a 3-minute walk away ✅ Travel Tips 1⃣ Be sure to arrive at the cable car station before 10:00 in the morning, after 10 o'clock it gets very crowded. Make sure to get back down the mountain before 4:00 in the afternoon to catch the 4:30 sunset bus. 2⃣ The cable car journey is 20 minutes, with 3 options (standard, crystal, and panoramic cable cars), I suggest taking the crystal cable car up the mountain and the panoramic cable car down. If you don't plan to take the sunset sightseeing bus, you can also choose the 17:00 cable car to watch the sunset. 3⃣ Purchase tickets 3 days in advance, make a reservation 1 day in advance, and exchange for a paper ticket on-site to take the cable car up the mountain. Be sure to confirm ticket information with the staff on-site to avoid queuing in the wrong line and wasting time. For the sightseeing car, there is no need to exchange for a paper ticket, just show the QR code to board. If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to tell me in the comments!

The Big Buddha, or Giant Buddha located on Pnong Ping island in Lantau Island district, is one of the best places I’ve ever been to. The entire trip to get to the Buddha is worth it, whether you are traveling via the 360 degree view gondola, or via bus, you will enjoy the trip going there. (I strongly recommend the gondola glass ride there and back though!) The views getting to Pnong Ping is just magical from the gondola. You can even spot the Big Buddha from it. You will also spot the ocean and mini rock islands on the right. There are lovely places to eat and indulge in authentic cuisine, I chose the Indian restaurant as it was popular with many foreign and local people. The food was absolutely delicious, a perfect 10/10 🤩 After going up the staircase to the Buddha itself, you can snap some gorgeous pictures with your travel buddies and get those amazing selfies! When you’re done, make sure to head down to the Monastery with the most beautiful architectural details and the famous Ten thousand Buddha Temple located at the end. A guaranteed peaceful and beautiful sensation that you will experience. An amazing khoi fish pond that is shaped in a Khoi fish will also leave you in awe. There are also lots of souvenir stores for you to purchase a little trinket or two, and some pure silver stores that has gorgeous jewelry that will make you want to spend most of your money on! You can also contribute to the maintenance of the Buddha by donating in the boxes that are situated in the Buddha itself and at the monastery. Take the family along, because this trip will be enjoyed by everyone, guaranteed! 😊👌#historicallandmarks #hongkongtrip #mytravelhacks #trip #familytrip #localguides

#hongkongtrip 📍Tian Tan Buddha 📌 The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue, located near the Po Lin Monastery which built it, is a tourist attraction. 📌 The statue's base is a model of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. One of the five large Buddha statues in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. 📌 Surrounding it are six smaller bronze statues known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha, representing the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, necessary for Enlightenment in Buddhism❤️

#hongkongtrip After taking the cable car up to Tian Tan, we walked through a delightful village filled with quaint souvenir shops & eateries, before ascending the 268 steps up towards the Big Buddha. Once at the top, the views are unrivaled; simply stunning and you truly can't gauge the size of the buddha until you're up close! It's well worth visiting the Po Lin Monastery upon your descent, to feel peace & discover the history of the Buddha.

#hongkongtrip For Buddhists and non-Buddhists, a trip to the Big Buddha Statue (Tian Tan Buddha) is a must when you are at Tung Chung. It’s located near Ngong Ping Village up the hills. You can take the land transport (bus or car) or by air (cable car). As the impending typhoon “delayed” its arrival into the island, we were very lucky that it wasn’t a rainy day nor was it too hot. Also it wasn’t very crowded and we had a leisurely climb up to the peak for close up pictures with the Buddha. It is cooler with the breeze coming in from the sea. We also toured the inside of the temple and paid our respect to Anita Mui’s tablet. Po Lam Monastery is nearby and a few steps away once you decent from the climb. They serve very good vegetarian food. #hongkong #tiantanbuddha #bigbuddha #ngongping

At the end of 2022, let's say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Let's go to the Buddhist temple to wash our hands and summarize the moments of this year. The air in the mountains was really good, it was kind of self-discharge of the mind. Install a big incense and make a wish, then eat a vegetarian rice price is also very reasonable, definitely a good experience! When you walk out of Tai Pai Fong, there is an On Ping Market. You can also choose to take the cable car up and down the mountain directly to Tung Chung MTR Station. However, I took a bus up the mountain, passing through many villages to enjoy the scenery and beaches along the way. Since living close will choose to come again, Hong Kong good place!

#meethongkong An amazing location of pure serenity. There are a number of ways to reach this incredible location, bus, taxi, but best of all the glass bottom cable car, which begins its journey from Tung Chung, Lantau Island. It pays to go early because there can be huge queues for cable car, especially on a Tuesday, but the wait is well worth it. The view from the cable is amazing as you go over the bays at up to 300 ft, after which you go between the mountains, then as if he jumped out of the mountains, the Buddha appears as if by magic. Upon reaching the venue, you will find there is plenty to do and see. There are many restaurants and food outlets, along with drinks a plenty (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). As you walk through the impressive gateway to the main site, you will see highly cleansed cows wandering freely around, plus many Buddhist Monks who are quite happy to have a photograph taken with you. Then comes the 260 steps up to the main attraction, The Big Buddha, the daunting bronze figure seems to come alive as you get nearer, as though beckoning you, makes you very different inside, quite unexplainable. When you reach the top you can walk around the Buddha, you can also go inside, within the Buddha. Please kindly observe that NO PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALLOWED INSIDE HERE, as it is sacred, PLEASE RESPECT THIS. If ever you go to Hong Kong, the Big Buddha is an absolute must. Highly recommended. #mytripvlog #境外遊 #throwback

The location is great because it is located close to the International Airport of Hong Kong and also close to Disney Land in Hong Kong. Furthermore it is easy to get there from Hong Kong as well. We took the bus all the way to the top and when we arrived it was raining cats and dogs, so we had to get some rain coats. From there we walked about ten to fifteen minutes to the Tian Tan Buddha which was closed unfortunately due to the heavy rain. Anyways we had a great view on the Buddha from the bottom #tripblazers

World’s largest outdoor bronze Buddha! And 268 steps to reach the top. But it is totally worth it! I recommend taking the cable car up from the Citygate mall in Tung Chung. It is a great adventure in itself (get a glass bottom crystal car) and it is great to summit the first mountain on the range and to see the Big Buddha come into view. There is a while village near the base where you can get souvenirs and a bite to eat. The view from the top is amazing making this a Hong Kong must-do. #givethanks
