THE BIGGEST OF TEMPLE

To go to Ngong Ping can use the bus can use the cable car. Well before those of us who do not live on the island of Lantau, search first major MTR Tung Chung Station, then follow the exit channel B and can take the bus number 23 from Tung Chung Town Centre or directly Ngong Ping Cable Car ride and costs 107 HKD per person.

I still recommend to use the cable car instead of bus. Many reasons anyway, such is the cable car ride experience with route so far that is 5.7 km across several mountain and sea. Travel for 25 minutes it would not be felt long because the scenery is very beautiful from above, from here we can see the airport as well.

Those who would like extreme circumstances, also provided below the cable car is glass, so it can at once look down. Cool well. Ngong Ping area is also often used for camping, so do not be surprised if suddenly you see there are some people walking down there.

Oya, as in The Peak, the line here too brittle. To be able to ride the cable car, we had to queue for about 30 minutes more, maybe even can be called almost 1 hour. But all the exhaustion it really paid off with a great view of the cable car. Cable car is open at 10 am and closes at 6 pm. If Sunday or a holiday open at 09.30 close at 18:30. My advice, should you depart from the morning, because a lot of interesting places to visit here and will return no hurry because there are places you should go over from here.

Giant Buddha Statue

34-meter-tall Buddha statue weighing 250 tons was made for 10 years and was inaugurated in 1993. Since its opening, this place is often used as a place to hold religious ceremonies for Buddhists in Hong Kong. Well, but the cable car does not directly lead us there. The first place we will go to the Ngong Ping Villages. Here the many souvenirs and food vendors. Ranging from heavy foods to snack a lot we meet at the night market Indonesia is cotton candy. Wow, with prices 20 HKD one queue for food is quite long.

Most of what I see also, people buy is not really to eat because they like it, but only just for the photos. He-he-he, ... yes yes yes ... with a large display of pink cotton candy bubble is indeed appear attractive in the photo. Unfortunately, our friends Anvin already lining up for 15 minutes, was rejected because there are strange aunt-aunt who told the seller, "This person is not waiting a long time".

Heeeeh?? We who do not know how angry in Mandarin too could only stare as she laughed afterwards. "omg, want to photograph the same cotton candy wrote fail, how come no-aunt aunt like that, he was once a not lining up well." Well was given willingly ... we finally chose to eat smoked duck which turned out to look shiny for 38 HKD.

After eating, we continued our journey to the Giant Buddha. Before you can reach the Buddha, we have to climb the stairs as many as 268 steps. Hmm .. I see many tables of grandparents who ride alone! Yes stuck stuck if so tired, old photos pretending wrote while surreptitiously taking a breath he-he-he ...

Up above, there are 6 statues that surround the Buddha. Maybe this is the story they bring offerings to the Buddha, because it all leads to the Buddha while carrying something. Under the statue of Buddha there are souvenir shops and also display photos around the room. Photo images are photos of people who have died but has given his contribution to the development of this Big Buddha.

Satisfied around the statue of Buddha, under the stairs there is a kind of floor that leads directly to the statue of Buddha, a place where people submit a prayer to Buddha. Interestingly, if we are standing right on top of the circle, so if we speak will be heard echoing in our ears like. That's why this place called the Buddha heard.

Afternoon atmosphere here is also very beautiful. Surrounded by green mountains, clouds covered the mountain was slow going, I seemed to be close to the location shooting of Sun Go Kong... really cool scenery.

Hmm ... actually there are many places that can be visited at Ngong Ping, but because we here too late, time was running out ya, 1 hour cable car facilities are not there. That's why I recommend you come early in the morning because if you oversleep like us, will not be satisfied to enjoy the natural beauty of the Ngong Ping.

Where there are actually here Walking with Buddha, Ngong Ping Nature Centre, Po Lin Monastery and the Monkey's Tale Theater. And ... ow ow ow ... we must return in line with the line that is longer than the time left ... oh we were so impressed, if a serious work on tourism, tourists who come will be crowded-jubel ... incredible ... after almost 40 minutes we finally ride the cable car as well.
