Embark on an unforgettable cable car journey with Ngong Ping 360, connecting Tung Chung and the Ngong Ping plateau, home to the iconic Big Buddha.

Ngong Ping 360 Cable Cars: A Scenic Adventure

Prior to the completion of the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) in 1998, reaching Lantau Island required a ferry ride followed by a 10 to 20-kilometer hike depending on the pier you disembarked at. Visiting the Big Buddha was once a test of physical endurance as well as a spiritual pilgrimage.

The opening of HKIA and the MTR Tung Chung Line in 1998 created a surge in demand to visit the Big Buddha. The once narrow and congested Tung Chung Road was replaced in 2006 by the 5.7-kilometer Ngong Ping 360 skyrail, transforming the Big Buddha into an easily accessible and immensely popular attraction.

Speedy and Exhilarating Aerial Voyage

Recognized as a "Top 10" cable car experience by renowned media outlets such as CNN, The Telegraph, and USA Today, the Ngong Ping 360 cable car offers breathtaking sea views and significantly reduces travel time to approximately 25 minutes. While the ticket price may be slightly over $200 for a one-way journey, the breathtaking experience makes it worthwhile.

For an even more thrilling ride, opt for the Crystal Cabin with its shorter queues and glass-bottom floor, allowing you to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the scenery below. As you soar through the air, soak in the majestic sights of the South China Sea, watch planes land and take off at the airport, and catch a glimpse of the impressive Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (港珠澳大橋).
