About
Ngong Ping Cable Car - the gateway to start your Lantau adventure in Hong Kong! Ngong Ping Cable Car connects downtown Tung Chung and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. Adopting a safe and reliable bi-cable ropeway, the cable car is first-of-its-kind in Hong Kong. The journey begins from Tung Chung, crossing Tung Chung Bay to reach the angle station on Airport Island and turning 60 degrees towards North Lantau. You will be greeted with the vistas of the distant and vast South China Sea and the rolling greens of North Lantau Country Park. At the comfort of the cabin, enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Hong Kong International Airport, verdant, mountainous terrain of Lantau Island, the Big Buddha and the 360-degree view of Ngong Ping Plateau.

The queuing system is idiotic. Customers are divided into those who purchased tickets and those who didn’t. They are separated into two lines, with those who bought tickets on the internet being in the longer queue. The queue then brings you to counters where you get your physical tickets. There was a QR code but the counter staff typed in the confirmation code. Wow! And the wait was LONG.
What century does Ngong Ping 360 and MTR live in? Yes packages and marketing are professionally done, but doing this idiotic logistics would turn away many digitally savvy folks.
For an HK iconic company running a top tourist attraction puts HK into shame with this kind of operation. Haven’t they benchmarked anyone else.
The ride itself is nice.

Dear NP360 Guest
Thank you for your comments and sorry to hear of your disappointing experience whilst redeeming for tickets at our Ticketing Office.
We understand your frustration of the logistical services that you have pointed out and would like to take this opportunity to explain the situation.
Ngong Ping 360 endeavors to work with many different agents that have their own booking operating system which may not be compatible with the company's ticketing operating system thus it is necessary for the counter staff to input the confirmation code.
I trust you may appreciate the ever-changing digital world that we continually try to improve to enable our guests to have a seamless experience. This is an ongoing commitment we have for good guest experience.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to comment and look forward to providing you a better experience in the near future.
Best Regards

Excellent but expensive.
Just booked online and went there for visiting Po Lin. Excellent view and very relaxing trip. Took the bus back. This way is extremely much more comfortable

A one-day tour that you can't miss. Cable car, snacks and foods, souvenirs, and traditional Buddhist temples.... all in one

First, this review was written during Covid-19 so things will hopefully be different soon.
Honestly I was in Tung Chung for a three days staycation and the weather was cool enough to let me wonder around. I came with little expectation so I was okay with the experience. The ride itself was fine. Staffs were polite and there was no queue at all on this quiet Monday afternoon. For $235 roundtrip, the 30 minutes ride (hour roundtrip) was good value especially most folks got their own cable car given the low usage. The cable car was washed after each ride. The window was not too overly stratched but still not particularly photo friendly. As an AvGeek (aviation enthusiast), it was a fun ride overlooking the airport. Sadly, there was just not much traffic during Covid-19, but it was still nice. I valued that part the most.
There was an official photographer at Tung Chung station taking pictures of each group at the Cable Car Station. He was actually pretty good but $395 for a photo was a bit much.
Once arrived at the station in the Ngong Ping Village, I walked into a small "Chinese" village with ranges of restaurants and cafes. Then you can walk further down to the Monastery to visit the Buddha, but it is under repair now. (It makes sense since there is no tourist now!)
Please beware that there is no air conditioning with the cable car so it might not be that nice in the summer.

It was a most awaiting moment.
I booked a crystal cabin, which has a glass floor. And came down to Tung Chung after visiting the big buddha. But it was too dark when my ride starts and I could not enjoy the ride the way I expected.
But it was still amazing to fly over the hong kong city lights..

Visit again after reopen, I went to ngong ping 360 in weekday. I heard that it was very crowed in weekend, so I chose to go in non peak days. It has promotion for family tickets, so good.

Terrible terrible and irresponsible operator. We went around 4pm in the afternoon knowing it’s opened till 8pm that night and we bought return tickets. We were asked to get a QR code to queue and come back at the relevant time to get on the cable car which I thought it was good arrangement. We went with my in-laws and young kids and we were all excited and happy..... until we arrived at On Ping, and we saw the long long long queue of people trying to board the cable car for their return trip. At that time, the queuing time was 100 min. We were hoping the queue would be gone after we have taken the walk in the area. By around 7pm, the sun has set and knowing it would close at 8pm, we returned to the station and then realised we needed to queue for 2 hours before we can board. That means the earliest we could leave would be 9pm. All restaurants were closed and the elderly and the kids were getting tired and there’s no way we would stand there queue for 2 hours in the cold. We had to book two taxi to return to Tung Chung.
We have wasted our return trip for 6 ppl and added two taxi fare from On Ping to Tung Chung. It was super irresponsible of the cable car company to keep selling return tickets knowing there is no way they could bring people back in a decent time. We talked to the taxi driver on our way back to Tung Chung and he said the previous night, people queued for 4 hours to make their way down.... so probably needed to go home 10 or 11pm?
They could have put up signs for people to know status of the cable car up in On Ping at the Tung Chung station. I wouldn’t go if I know it’s so chaotic. Or I wouldn’t buy return tickets if I have to taxi back.
Never will I return and definitely would not recommend people to take it, unless the company can be more responsible in managing the crowd.

Thank you for sharing your valuable comments with us.
We are sorry to learn your unpleasant experience of long waiting time at Ngong Ping. Due to the current pandemic situation, a preventative measure was in place in order to produce sufficient spaces for guests in each cabin. Therefore cable car capacity was halved and the waiting time was extended. The concern and your suggestion have been passed to our related departments to discuss internally and hopefully to ease the situation in future.
Once again, thank you for your comment and we hope to see you again.
Regards,
Ngong Ping 360

Poor crowd management. Wait for 2.5 hours in the queue to go back to Tung Chung. Although the view is great, I think we won’t come back again especially during the festival holidays.

Round trip tix bought a wk ago. 1 hr waiting to NP. Acceptable. It s public holiday n city ‘lockdown’. No overseas travel. We all locals ‘trapped’ in the city to support local business. At 6pm. Leaving NP. Staff showed a signage at the end of the queue ‘180 waiting time’. Holy! It s 9:20pm. I m still waiting. No refund. No traffic control. Just wait! Nightmare! I cant imagine those at the end of the queue. When will they arrive tungchung? No more MTR by that time

Hi Ella, you need half a day (4 hours at least ) I would say . We spent about 6 hours including the cable car ride was enough to see everything and grab some snacks.

With the ongoing protest will it be safe to travel now in hongkong? because i already made my booking and it is non refundable thanks

Hong Kong is a huge city and it is unlikely that you will run into protesters especially if you visit during the week as most protests are on the weekends. If you are out on Lantau island where the cable car and airport is, then you have nothing to worry about.
Hi, I hope everyone will take a moment to answer my question here, I just booked my ngong ping ticket via klook one way, but I plan to ride a bus going up to village and use the ticket going back to Tung Chung via cable car, my question is there a ticketing office in the village where I can redeem my voucher so I dont need to queue from the counter of Tung chung?? And would it be possible to travel early by bus straight going to the village like 7-8am ??

Yes there is a ticket office in the village and you can even buy your tickets there.

On the official online booking site it says the cable car is closed between 6th and 26th March. Is this correct?
Thank you
On rainy days can you see anything?

Is it 25 minutes a round trip or just one way and how long would you say it would take to go up walk about a bit and come back ? its just we have a plane to catch, thank you

As in the previous answers....25 minutes is only 1 way. You'll need at least 2 hrs to 3 hrs to do this trip - to get in the queue to buy the tickets, get in the queue to get on the gondola, to walk thru the village, walk up the steps to see the big Budda (there's LOTS), to see the small village at the base then go back down. We did minimal touring through the village and it took us probably around 2 hrs total. BUT it's worth it!!

Trying to book online for this week but no availability until 27th March with any provider. Does anyone know if it's closed? If not what's the best time to go and queue for the tickets?

Yes it's closed until from 6-26 March 2019.
"NGONG PING 360 CABLE CAR TEMPORARY CLOSURE 6th to 26th March 2019 - The Ngong Ping 360 cable car operating between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping is to close for scheduled maintenance from 6th to 26th March 2019 (21 days). Normal service will resume on 27th March. During the closure period Ngong Ping Village, the "Big Buddha", Po Lin Monastery, Wisdom Path and other attractions at Ngong Ping remain open as usual. Visitors can take alternative transport between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping, either New Lantao Bus Company service 23, which takes about 50 minutes and departs from Tung Chung Temporary Bus Terminus, adjacent to the cable car terminal on Tat Tung Road (additional services operate to meet demand) or, subject to availability, Lantau (blue) taxi, fare approx HK$180, journey time about 35 mins."
Hope this helps.
Hi! Im planning to go and travel by bus to ngong ping village and just buy ticket going back to tung chung via cable car. Is that posible?

Yes...definitely possible to buy a ticket there BUT there is maintenance on the cable cars so don't plan on using them during that time. If you're fit and like a climb you can walk up to the village as there is a path.

Hi, you may not be able to book that far ahead, try booking mid-Feb. we booked online the day before we went, you can also queue and buy tickets on the day but the queues can be quite long, so suggest you book online.
