Anyways, the touristy spot to go when anyone comes to Hong Kong is Ngong Ping 360. It's a place where one can see a Giant Big Buddha. We Muslim don't really focus on that, but on the other hand, this place is interesting for photo taking or practising the photo skill that one always wanted to develop. And they do have some shows, activities to do there. Like hiking, or island visits & others. Check out Ngong Ping 360.
Direction.
MTR from Central or any other line that leads to MTR's Tung Chung Station & the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal is adjacent to it. It is a two-minute walk from Exit B of the station. Easy peasy. I think it takes about 30 mins to reach Tung Chung. Don't worry. You will never realize the 30 mins when you are in a MTR. I've attached a map (I took it from Ngong Ping's website. Sorry.)
We didn't know the direction for Bus or other transportation to NP360. Cause we think that MTR is the best transportation ride you can ever ride on. It's on time and fast. I think the trip cost about HKD$ 20 +/- Single trip.
So basically, Tung Chung Station, go to Exit B, then get blinded with Citygate Outlet just next to you (that's another topic to talk about), walk to the Cable Car (it's a recommendation, not for those fainted heart though, as its a loooooooong trip across up the hills, sea and well, land.) Then line up for a VERY long time to get into one of the cable cabin which is shared by others up to 10 pax. You can pay up to HKD 2900 to get a private cable, but you CRAZY!. You do have a choice of a Standard Cabin or Crystal Cabin which is, your cabin floor is visible to see. But price defer. We took Standard like other which cost about HKD 179.
Once in cabin (pssst.., only 2 cables are supporting us)it took us 25 min (5.7 km) trip across the mountain, hills, sea & land. It is worth it. Trust me. You will reach your destination, and head up to NP Village where the shows, food & shopping be. Make sure to check your tickets to know your itinerary that is included.
Standard only have Round Trip Ngong Ping Cable Car journey and entry to Ngong Ping Village's Walking with Buddha and Monkey's Tale Theater attractions. Can't compare with other package, but I think, we had just enough fun with this package.
Muslim, have no fear as there is Halal food up there, besides having the blessed smell of Starbuck's coffee, you can find Ebeneezer's Kebab & Pizzeria too. Thank god. A good meal and a good coffee place. And for desserts, they have Gelatos for those who crave ice cream, Honeymoon Dessert (Astro's Rasa Halal Orient HK, recommendation) and others too (if you're not as picky as we are.) After a good full meal, enjoy the gift shopping. They do have loads of things to buy up there. Not those fancy branded clothing, but touristy, souvenir thingy.
Anyways, enjoy the photos.
