Don’t miss the visit to Big Buddha and the amazing crystal cable car
Embark on an unforgettable journey to one of Hong Kong's most iconic landmarks – the Tian Tan Buddha, affectionately known as the Big Buddha. Paired with an exhilarating ride on the Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car, this adventure promises breathtaking views and spiritual experiences.
📜 A Glimpse into History
The Big Buddha, completed in 1993, stands proudly on Lantau Island. This massive bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni is 34 meters tall and weighs over 250 metric tons. It symbolizes the harmonious relationship between man, nature, and religion. The statue faces north, looking over the Chinese people, and is a major center of Buddhism in Hong Kong.
⏰ Visiting Hours and Booking
Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car operates from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM on weekends and public holidays. The Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery are open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
Advance booking is highly recommended for the cable car, especially if you want to experience the Crystal Cabin with its glass-bottom floor, offering stunning views of the lush landscape below. You can book tickets online through the Ngong Ping 360 official website.
🚍 Getting There by Public Transport
Traveling to the Big Buddha and Ngong Ping 360 from Central is straightforward. Here’s the easiest route:
1. MTR: Take the MTR Tung Chung Line from Hong Kong Station to Tung Chung Station.
2. Cable Car: From Tung Chung Station, it's a short walk to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Terminal. Board the cable car for a scenic 25-minute ride to Ngong Ping Village.
Alternatively, you can take bus 23 from Tung Chung Town Centre to Ngong Ping Village, but the cable car ride is highly recommended for the full experience.
🌻 Whether you’re a spiritual pilgrim, a culture enthusiast, or an adventurer at heart, visiting the Big Buddha and riding the Crystal Cable Car is an experience like no other.

🇸🇬 A Day at Sentosa Beach, Singapore 🏖️🏖️
#beachlife
Sentosa Island is a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a delightful blend of activities and relaxation. It is a perfect spot whether you are a tourist or a local who just want to chill on weekends. 🧘♀️
🚗How to go:
Enter Sentosa Island through the Sentosa Express which departs from Vivocity. I alighted at Imbiah Station and get to the cable car point. The adventure to Sentosa Beach starts with a scenic cable car ride, offering stunning aerial views of Singapore's skyline and the lush greenery of Sentosa Island. 🍃The expansive views of the water and the city provide a perfect backdrop for some breathtaking photos.
🌅 Sunset Watching at Tanjong Beach
Once on the island, a must-do activity is watching the sunset at Tanjong Beach, known for its more tranquil, laid-back vibe compared to the island’s other beaches.
🍗Picnic at the beach
This quieter stretch of sand is ideal for laying out a picnic blanket and unwinding as the sun dips below the horizon. The calm waters and the soft, white sands make Tanjong Beach a perfect spot for evening picnics. 🍷 I took away some food from VivoCity and had a great time picnic while watching the sunset. 💫
Other than Tanjong Beach, there is Siloso Beach and Palawan Beach at Sentosa which is equally nice. Sentosa Beach is the quintessential spot for anyone looking to combine adventure with relaxation, making it an unforgettable part of any Singapore visit.

Can't escape the palm
Took the longest single line cable car ride in the world to score yourself a chance to be walking through the palms in Danang - Bana Hills
One of the Southeast Asia most iconic landmark, the atmosphere up there is definitely better than Genting. Definitely not regretting my decision to travel 50 mins in and out of Danang city to this hill.
Every single location on the hill is good for the Gram. Quickly add it into your itinerary/place to visit #holidaytrip #themepark #danang #vacation_vietnam #vietnam #banahill #bana #goldenhandbridge #cablecar #cablecarviews #cablecaradventure #cablecaradventures #holiday_mood #vacations_mood #southeastasia #asia
