5. Ngong Ping 360

One of the best ways to explore Lantau Island is to take a trip on the Ngong Ping 360. This lofty cable car links Tung Chung on the north coast with the hilly inland area of Ngong Ping, site of the famous Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan, or “Big Buddha”. Both of these attractions were popular with tourists before the advent of the cable car, but the spectacular journey has now become a must-do part of the whole experience, especially on a clear day.

Today it is one of the world’s most important Buddhist centres and a popular visitor attraction in its own right.
