About
*Temporarily closed 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.

Hikers up Shek mum gap trail which is about 8k, nice and easy walk mostly uphill. Nice stroll to this square and relaxing coffee break. Highly recommended

It was a terrible experience before on boarding and off boarding, the queue was too long that we had to wait for 4 hours back and forth. It is not reasonable that if the capacity is not allowed to take too many people, still selling too much tickets without effective management.

Go early - I arrived at 9am on CNY day and there was no queue. Coming down 1.5 hours later and the queue was - quite literally - a mile long! Easy process to buy the ticket and board, you can a glass bottom pod but why? The views are around you - not in the grass below! Really beautiful scenery, especially over the airport. This was undoubtedly the quickest and best way to get up to the Big Buddah and back. On the way back I had a whole cable car to myself - lovely!

My ride with my mum (senior) on first day of CNY, management was suck and messy. They did not manage well especially no experience on dealing with large amount of passengers. The staff (jade) monitoring the end of the queue on return ride did not listen to my query well and day dreaming.

The difference between crystal cabin and standard cabin is minimal. Better to take one way cabin and take the bus on the way down.
No queues for pregnant ladies. The staff would shamelessly ask them to buy more expensive tickets to shorten the waiting time (but still wait) or just stand there for hours.
A tip: come early and leave early as the queue for the cars start to grow after 4pm. The waiting time just increase to an hour on a holiday

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your comment regarding the queuing arrangement and regret to learn about your experience.
In view of high demand of cable car services during the holiday season, we have deployed extra staff and additional counters to facilitate ticket redemption and guest flow. The queuing arrangement at pre-boarding area would be assigned in accordance to the cabin type. Your kind understanding of this is highly appreciated.
We understand the queuing time affected your experience and we will be reviewing these arrangements in order to shorten guests’ waiting time during peak periods for the near future as you may understand we have not experienced in a long time due to the pandemic.
Last but not least, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your feedback. Your feedback is essential for us to strive for service excellence.

We organised a tour of 50 people there. Although we get half price, but that day is special day for elderly free. Therefore we used almost an hour for queue up the line. before that no any reminder for us and no any arrangements for the tour. So the experience was bad.

The Ngong Ping 360 cable car is almost 6 kilometers and 25 minutes a few hundred meters above the bay and the beautiful green hills of the island. It is named after the plateau of the same name, on the territory of which the main part of the cable car runs. From the top you can enjoy good views.

The glass floor makes everything so clear under your fleet, it takes some time to get used to even you’re not afraid of heights - it’s like your walking in the air. Nice view along the ride. And a lot of trails to choose from once you get off the cable car.

Terrible organisation of the ticket process.
On the 12th of September , a public holiday, we wanted to get our tickets through the ticket window which we purchased via Klook.
To my surprise, the organisers , let go faster the line of ppl who came just walk - in.
And we are klook- booking holders were standing around 20 mins on the bridge in the line.
Shocking was when we got closer to the ticket windows, I saw that only A Half!!!! Was working!!!!
On public holidays it’s way more people! You had to open up more ticket windows!
Why walk - ins went faster ?!
There we stood another 20 mins!
That’s unbelievable!
Truly Hong Kong bad organisation! No responsibility in adjusting your efforts to big amounts of people!

We bought a package that included round trip tickets for the cable car at the (double checked with ticketing office that it’s round trip) but at the Big Buddha stop we were told that the package was for single ticket with bus ticket and had to buy single tickets to go back which adds up to 200+ more than if we had bought the round trip tickets in the first place.

What is the best time of day to go? We are planning on getting there at 4pm will this allow enough time? Thanks

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
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.
