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. Alight from the cable car cabin and you will arrive at Ngong Ping Village – the best starting point for your Hong Kong visit to “must-see” attractions such as the Big Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, Tai O fishing village, etc.

- paris c5 contributionsNgong Ping 360Ngong Ping 360 was the highlight of our Hong Kong trip. The cable car ride was an adventure, and the view of the Buddha statues was simply stunning. Ngong Ping Village was also a great place to explore and learn about the local culture. Highly recommended for families!*Visited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 April 2023
- Philip LimQuezon City, Philippines200 contributionsCable car ride worth experiencingWorth visiting once, we took the crystal cable car ride down from Ngong Ping village, which has a monastery atop and the giant Buddha. The cable car ride was nice and peaceful, with a beautiful view of the harbor, airport, and the town of Tung Chun. The crystal car has a glass bottom which adds a certain thrill to the ride.Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 June 2023
- ShannonSuva, Fiji1,034 contributionsHigh linerBooking queues were actually longer than buying it off the counter. When boarding from Lantau they usually put individual/ groups in separate carts, so if you're in a very big group separate yourselves otherwise they'll stuff you all in one. They do this for tourist photo sales purposes which you will get at the top. Coming back down from Ngong Ping they put everyone together in the same Cart, so I recommend taking all your cable cart photos while going up. Must recommend activity in HKVisited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 June 2023

The little village at the end of the line is sufficient for buying things and some photo ops.

- Traveling with Good VibesDubai, United Arab Emirates318 contributionsNgong Ping 360 on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, is an absolute treasure blending natural beauty with cultural richnessThe cable car ride is the star attraction, offering breathtaking views of lush mountains and the serene South China Sea, providing a serene escape from the city below. Upon arriving at Ngong Ping Village, a culturally immersive experience unfolds. The majestic Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery offer tranquility and spirituality, while the Wisdom Path invites serene walks amidst nature. Visitors can engage in tea appreciation sessions, sample local vegetarian cuisine, and explore traditional architecture and artifacts. Despite queues, the experience is worth it. The difference between Standard and Crystal cable cars lies in the transparent floor, with Crystal+ offering floor-to-ceiling views. Despite queues, the journey and cultural richness make Ngong Ping 360 an unforgettable adventure, perfect for spiritual retreats, cultural explorations, or scenic escapes.Visited March 2023Travelled soloWritten 3 February 2024

It was too crowded tough this is must visit when you are travelling to Hongkong. You will go through an adventurous cable car ride, a walk through ngong city and you will witness a great ambience of village like place. Than you will witness the great lord buddha. After climbing almost 400 stairs you will witness lord and feel so much of positivity.

In February 2024, I embarked on an unforgettable journey aboard the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. This iconic attraction promised breathtaking views and an immersive experience, and it certainly did not disappoint.
As the cable car gently ascended, I was treated to panoramic vistas of Lantau Island's stunning landscapes below. The journey was a feast for the senses, offering sweeping views of verdant mountains, azure waters, and picturesque villages nestled among the hills. It was a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing me to immerse myself in the natural beauty of Hong Kong's countryside.
One of the highlights of the experience was passing over the awe-inspiring Ngong Ping Plateau, home to the renowned Tian Tan Buddha statue. The sight of the majestic bronze Buddha, surrounded by lush greenery and serene surroundings, was truly awe-inspiring. It was a moment of contemplation and reflection, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region.
The journey concluded with a visit to Ngong Ping Village, where I had the opportunity to explore traditional architecture, enjoy cultural performances, and sample local delicacies. The village provided a charming glimpse into the heritage and customs of the region, adding depth to the overall experience.
Overall, my time aboard the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car was a captivating and enriching experience. From the breathtaking views to the cultural insights gained along the way, it was a journey that left a lasting impression. Whether you're a nature lover, a cultural enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car offers an unforgettable adventure above the scenic splendor of Lantau Island.

We have been on a lot of gondolas around the world and this one is worth the price of admission We arrived at 10 am on a Sunday morning and didn’t have to wait in line for very long. We chose the gondola with a glass bottom for the 25 minute ride going up and a regular gondola going down. We were lucky to have only a few other people in our cabin with us as it holds 17 adult passengers. The views are great and we got off at the top near the big Tian Tan Buddha. We walked through the Ngong Ping Village which was nothing to write home about. The walk up all the steps to be close to the big Buddha was also worth the climb. We spent about an hour at the site to take photos and enjoy the views. Go early to avoid the crowds.

Biggest tourist trap ever. Don’t get me wrong, the cable car is fun and an adventure but everything else is just mid. Besides, you pay at least 30 dollars for a round trip with the cable car and we had to wait 40 minutes before boarding. It wasn’t even in the weekend. Single journey is adviced, or do your return early in the afternoon.

Me and my family had a great time on the cable car experience. A highlight of our trip to Hong Kong for the first time. We were greeted by helpful and friendly staff on the way and on the way back. The peaceful and serene trip was one in a lifetime. Thank you to the hard workers making sure we made it to and from Lantau island safely.

A must do in Hong Kong. I wouldn't bother showing up later than 10am though. We arrived at 11am and prebooked our tickets. Believe me, it doesn't matter who you book your tickets through or what kind of cable car you book - you will be waiting for at least an hour, in our case more than two.

This was a fun way to travel up the mountain to the Tian Tan Buddha! We went early in the morning and got right on. I don't think it's worth paying extra for the crystal cabins as the view is spectacular no matter what. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the top and is a very smooth ride.

We were expecting long waits as arrived on last day of Spring Festival, but we’re pleasantly surprised, it was easy to buy the tickets, we didn’t opt for the Crystal cabins, $80 more , and felt we didn’t need to watch the trees beneath our feet, also there is only 1 in 10 are Crystal cabins so we guess you could end up waiting longer. The 25 minute journey up provided great views, the weather had closed in a little on the way down but still a great experience. The 10 minute walk through the shopping area at the top can be done quickly! Walk up the steps to the Buddha, and don’t miss the temple the other side of the plaza. If you want to eat ,try the vegetarian restaurant attached to the temple, friends recommend it, but we missed this as not hungry!

We did the Crystal cable car trip and it was amazing! The problem was the huge line to get it. When you buy by the TripAdvisor you need to change to a paper ticket! Unbelievable!

If you are staying in Tung Chung just go there the day before and by them. We stayed at the Silveri and our concierge booked them for us the day before. Most people seem to book on Klook. We arrived at 9.30am and we were on the cable car by 10.30am later in the day the queue is horrific.
How to depart from Ngong Ping Village to Mong Kok via bus? Are buses there available at any time? Because we have a plane to catch.Thank you!

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 ??

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

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
Luv-2-Travel284

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!!
