Life advice: experience a sunset roller coaster ride in Hong Kong at least once
⭐ 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.

✅ 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.
