Travel Vlog To Tung Chung | Getting a Ticket for Ngong Ping 360 ( 昂坪360 ) Part 1
Tian Tan Buddha here we come!!! ☺️????
The Ngong Ping 360 (Chinese: 昂坪360) is a gondola lift on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Intended to improve tourism to the area, the aerial lift was previously known as Tung Chung Cable Car Project before acquiring the Ngong Ping 360 brand in April 2005. It consists of the Ngong Ping Cable Car, formerly known as the Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail, and the Ngong Ping Village, a retail and entertainment centre adjacent to the cable car's upper station.[1] Ngong Ping 360 connects Tung Chung, on the north coast of Lantau and itself linked to central Hong Kong by the Tung Chung Line, with the Ngong Ping area in the hills above. This is home to the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha, both already significant tourist attractions in their own right. Before Ngong Ping 360's opening, the only access was via a mountain road and bus service.
How to Get to the Big Buddha
It is easiest for most people to take the MTR (subway) to Tung Chung Station. Take Exit B (knowing your exit is extremely important at big Hong Kong stations). Then you have two choices.
Walk about a block to the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for a 25 minute ride up to Ngong Ping Village. After exiting the cable car in Ngong Ping Village, walk another easy 10 minutes or so to the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery.
Or, walk to Tung Chung Town Centre and take New Lantao Bus 23, which takes around 45 minutes. Then, you’ll need to walk less than 10 minutes to the Big Buddha.
Thanks for watching!

Hong Kong Trip | Victoria Harbour | Tian Tan (Big Buddha) | Tai O Fishing Village | Ngong Ping 360°
In June 2018, we travelled to Hong Kong after touring Taiwan.
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north. The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre.
Throughout its history, the harbour has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, many of which have caused controversy in recent years. Environmental concerns have been expressed about the effects of these expansions, in terms of water quality and loss of natural habitat. It has also been proposed that benefits of land reclamation may be less than the effects of decreased harbour width, affecting the number of vessels passing through the harbour. Nonetheless Victoria Harbour still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of international vessels each year.
The harbour is a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong. Lying in the middle of the territory's dense urban region, the harbour is the site of annual fireworks displays and its promenades are used as gathering places for tourists and residents.
Tian Tan Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a tourist attraction. The statue's base is a model of the Altar of Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. One of the five large Buddha statues in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. Surrounding it are six smaller bronze statues known as The Offering of the Six Devas that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha. These symbolise the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary for enlightenment. The statue is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces. In addition to the exterior components, there is a strong steel framework inside to support the heavy load. Reputedly the figure can be seen across the bay from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha though the site also features a small winding road for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped. The Buddha's right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction, while the left rests open on his lap in a gesture of generosity. He faces north, which is unique among the great Buddha statues, as all others face south.
Tai O is a fishing town, partly located on an island of the same name, on the western side of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The village names means large inlet, referring to outlet for the waterways (Tai O Creek and Tai O River) merges as it moves through Tai O. Currently the fishing lifestyle is dying out. While many residents continue to fish, it barely provides a subsistence income. There is a public school on the island and most young people move away when they come of age. In 2000 a large fire broke out destroying many residences. The village is now mostly squatters huts and dilapidated stilt houses.
The Ngong Ping 360 is a gondola lift on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Intended to improve tourism to the area, the aerial lift was previously known as Tung Chung Cable Car Project before acquiring the Ngong Ping 360 brand in April 2005. It consists of the Ngong Ping Cable Car, formerly known as the Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail, and the Ngong Ping Village, a retail and entertainment centre adjacent to the cable car's upper station. Ngong Ping 360 connects Tung Chung, on the north coast of Lantau and itself linked to central Hong Kong by the Tung Chung Line, with the Ngong Ping area in the hills above. This is home to the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha, both already significant tourist attractions in their own right. Before Ngong Ping 360's opening, the only access was via a mountain road and bus service.
Overall Hong Kong is an amazing place. Hope you like the video and thanks friends for watching ????????????
Better use of park land broached (18.1.2017)
Chief Executive CY Leung has proposed incorporating more land with high ecological value into country parks so low value land at the parks' periphery can be developed.
Delivering his 2017 Policy Address today, Mr Leung said: We should incorporate more land with high ecological value into country parks, increase the total area of ecological conservation sites and country parks, and enhance their recreational and educational values.
At the same time, we should also consider allocating a small proportion of land on the periphery of country parks with relatively low ecological and public enjoyment value for purposes other than real estate development, such as public housing and non-profit-making elderly homes.
Noting country parks are precious assets for their leisure, recreational, sports and conservation value, Mr Leung said the Government is committed to environmental protection and ecological conservation, and seeks to balance development and conservation.
In the past few years, we have incorporated suitable enclaves, such as Sai Wan, into country parks, increasing the total area of country parks and special areas by 38 hectares. In developing the Kwu Tung North and Fanling North new development areas (NDAs), we will establish a Long Valley Nature Park of about 37 hectares.
To conserve more sites with high ecological significance, the Government will designate Robin’s Nest a new 500 hectare country park.
In addition, we are considering long-term conservation of Sha Lo Tung through a non-in-situ land exchange for the private land with high ecological significance at Sha Lo Tung by offering the rehabilitated Shuen Wan Landfill in Tai Po. In tandem, we will continue to identify suitable sites for inclusion into country park areas.
As some remote rural areas have lost their ecological and cultural value, the Government is collaborating with non-governmental organisations to revitalise these areas.
He said, apart from making strenuous efforts to conserve rural areas and countryside, the Government also adopts a multi-pronged approach to release land resources, which involves NDAs and new town extension projects, as well as development of brownfield sites and reclamation, to address the pressing need for housing and other development.
To further promote the revitalisation of remote rural areas, the Government will establish a preparatory committee to study the ambit and modus operandi of a conservation fund, as well as the legislation and resources required for setting up such a fund.
We will seek to conserve and revitalise the ecology and culture of rural areas based on the sustainability principle, and respond to the aspirations of urban dwellers for urban-rural symbiosis. The fund will also provide an integrated and dedicated mechanism and resources for implementing policy initiatives relating to the conservation of
biodiversity in rural areas.
To underpin the sustainable development and conservation of Lantau, the Government will implement rural conservation pilot projects in areas such as Tai O, Shui Hau and
Pui O.
Different government and community resources will be deployed to take forward various rural conservation initiatives, including nature conservation and education, revitalisation of old village buildings, as well as promotion of ecological and cultural tourism.
He said the Government is committed to promoting heritage conservation. So far, five batches of projects under the Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme have been rolled out, involving a total of 19 historic buildings.
Eight have completed revitalisation works and are open to the public. Among these, four have won the Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation from the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organisation.
Mr Leung said the Government will continue to collaborate with NGOs on this revitalisation work.
A study on Agricultural Priority Areas will start this year to identify large areas of quality agricultural land and formulate policies and measures to promote the rehabilitation of fallow agricultural land and improve the rural environment.
The aim of re-organising the land use of brownfield sites and releasing such sites for development is to optimise their use, improve the rural environment and provide suitable land for relevant industries.
The Planning Department will conduct a survey on the distribution and use of all brownfield sites in Hong Kong this year. (

Visiting the DJI Flagship Store in Causeway Bay Hong Kong Travel Vlog
Click here to SUBSCRIBE to my channel: bit.ly/2JmVUgq
If you love DJI drones and you happen to be in Hong Kong then you should check out the DJI Flagship Store near Causeway Bay.
This is part 3 of my Hong Kong Travel Vlog and in this video I will show you what's inside the DJI Flagship Store in Hong Kong.
Just a short stroll from the Causeway Bay MTR station. The store has a very “Apple Store aesthetic” with mostly white walls, clean design and a sleek, minimalist look. The store consists of 3 floors. The ground floor has consumer-focused gear, like the Phantom, Spark and Mavic line of drones. The next floor has more enterprise-focused drones, as well as fun interactive spots like the SkyPixel gallery and a flight simulator. On the top floor, there’s a whole area to dedicate to technical support, as well as an entire meeting room to hold events and presentations.
There are plenty of display cases to show off DJI’s consumer and enterprise products.The staffs were very friendly and helpful. I talked to one of them and asked about some of the cool stuff that DJI is working on. Whilst he can’t disclose too much it was insightful and got to know more DJI tech, drone laws and regulations and some of the popular spot to fly drone in Hong Kong.
Thank you for watching!

Lantau Island
Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Pearl River. Administratively, most of Lantau Island is part of the Islands District of Hong Kong. A small northeastern portion of the island is located in the Tsuen Wan District.
Originally the site of fishing villages, the island has been developed in recent years with the construction of Tung Chung New Town on its north-western coast and the completion of several major infrastructure projects, including Lantau Link, Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong Disneyland and Ngong Ping 360.

Hong Kong Travel Tips: 11 Things to Know Before You Go
11 things YOU need to know before you go to Hong Kong. A comprehensive travel guide to bring you up to speed on the Weather, Language, Getting Around, and more! Hong Kong was originally a British Colony founded in 1842, taken over by China in 1997. Hong Kong’s Official Name is the “Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.” In Chinese Hong Kong Means “Fragrant Harbor.” Hong Kong is Famous for Skyscrapers (it has 8,000 of them), but 40% of it’s land is park and nature preserve
Hong Kong has 3 main areas, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories
But in total it has 263 islands
2 - Weather
Hong Kong's climate is sub-tropical, with temperatures dropping below 10 degrees Celsius in winter and exceeding 31 degrees Celsius in summer
Pretty humid all year round
May to November is typhoon season
June & August are the wettest
January and December are the dryest
3. Getting In
Likely flying in to Hong Kong International Airport - HKG.
It’s on Lantau Island, and its HUGE! The size of 20 soccer fields.
You can fly to almost anywhere in the world from Hong Kong (more than 100 airlines operate 1,100 daily flights to and from 190 destinations worldwide)
Cathay Pacific is Hong Kong’s home airline and has won “World’s Best Airline” four times – more than any other.
Airport Express train to Central - Its just 24 minutes, and leaves every 10 minutes
You can buy a round trip airport Express and Octopus card for 3 days unlimited MTR for $350
Taxi one way to Hong Kong Island would be about $400 HKD and take 45 mins to an hour
4. Unlucky
This number omitted because it’s unlucky. 4 in Chinese sounds like the word for “Death.” Most buildings typically omit this floor.
5. Getting Around
By public transit—it's efficient, clean, and affordable
First things first, buy an Octopus Card -- It works on almost everything, even to get you in to the Hong Kong Horse Racetrack
MTT - Subway
Star Ferry - About $3 HKD, Upper Deck & Weekends cost a bit more.
Tram - Ding Ding - $2.60
Double Decker Bus
Mini Bus
Taxi - Relatively inexpensive, but can be hard to hail during rush hour, or a rainy day, or shift change between 3-4pm.
Don’t try to hail a cab if you see double yellow lines by the curb. Taxis can only stop if there is a single line—or none at all.
Uber
6. Money
Hong Kong Dollar
Exchange Rate fixed to the USD. 1 USD = HK$7.75–7.85
Most places take Visa/Mastercard
40% take AMEX
Lots of ATMS -- Hong Kong is a huge financial center after all
Bills: Issued by 3 different banks, so you’ll see 3 different designs for all the bills
HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500 and HK$1000
Coins:
7. Language
2 Official Languages
1.Chinese, (Spoken Cantonese)
2. English
In the major urban districts, most residents will speak English but Cantonese is the local language
If you think you’re planning to learn a little Cantonese before you go… it’s not easy… it has nine tones.
8. Shopping
Shops often stay open late… none of this European 6pm closing time… think 9 or 10pm closing times for most shops and malls
9. Food:
Cantonese Food
And it’s all about sharing, portions are big and made for big groups
Dim sum originated here in southern China and means “touch the heart”. These tiny bites of goodness were created as snack food for travellers and today are an essential part of local culture.
Dim Sum
Hong Kong Milk Tea
Dai Pai Dong, Fast Food Noodle Shops, are common sites in Hong Kong offering an inexpensive bowl of noodles for around HK$20 and free tea
Bones -- yes, lots of the local food has bones it. At the casual restaurants you can just put the bones on the table. At a fancier restaurant use the saucer plate beneath your bowl
Tea -- Need a refill for your teapot? Turn the lid upside down.
Like to avoid the crowds? Then avoid eating lunch between 1-2pm, that’s the typical Hong Kong lunch hour
10. Feng Shui
The mystical art of feng shui is still common practice in Hong Kong -- wondering why a building’s architecture looks weird? The answer usually has to do with Feng Shui… that might be why your hotel lobby has a water feature and some goldfish in it too!
11. I’ve got more videos!

Tian Tan Buddha - Hong Kong day trip to visit the Big Buddha on Lantau Island (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) travel video transcript:
Well good morning. Good morning. It is time for another day trip here in Hong Kong (香港) and today we're heading to Lantau Island (大嶼山). Yeah, we're going to visit the Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and we're kind of getting out in nature. We're taking a day trip getting away from the city center and all of the hustle and bustle. Yes. So that is going to be really nice.
So we have been staying in Yau Ma Tei ( 油麻地) we've taken the red line over to Lai King (荔景) and now we have to transfer to the cable car Tung Chung (東涌). That is our next destination.
Okay so we got here ten minutes after opening and it is already packed. A complete zoo. It is hurry up and wait time. Yeah, so we have our tickets but there is a huge line to actually get to the cable car. Sam is already rolling his eyes.
So we thought we were almost there. That we were getting closer to the cable car but there is a barrier and the line turns and keeps going and zig zagging and Sam is not impressed and I am not impressed. We've already been waiting like 30 minutes and it is probably going to take an hour.
So we made it. Finally off of the cable car. That was a five point seven kilometer route. Yeah, that is pretty long.
It is pretty long and our mood has improved considerably now that we're here. Because there is food in the horizon.
This I don't quite understand but there are cows just roaming munching on grass for no apparent reason.
Alright, so we have a few different options once we get off the cable car. What are we going to do?
So we're going to check out the Po Lin Monastery (寶蓮禪寺 - 宝莲禅寺) and then the Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) which is also known as the Big Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and then maybe a little bit of hiking.
We totally missed this but there is a vegetarian restaurant where you can eat your meal here at the temple so that is something to consider instead of Subway sandwich.
So we climbed two hundred and sixty eight steps to make it all the way up here. Do you think we've burned off our cookies at this point?
I think we should be entitled to more cookies right now. Maybe we'll get three more on the way down. Haha. You know what the sad thing is we might just do that. Yeah. We might just do that.
There he is. There is the big buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and they say that on a clear day apparently you can see it from Macau. I'm not sure if I believe that but that is what they say. Maybe with a telescope.
So one thing to keep in mind is that if you visit the Buddha in the morning it is backlit so if you're a photographer and you want to be able to take some good shots from the front you may have better luck in the afternoon. Otherwise this is what you'll get.
We have found the path to wisdom. Well, it actually is called the Wisdom Path and uh we may not be wise but hopefully we will gain gain wisdom walking on this path. There you go. That is why people walk this trail. Haha. Or maybe just because it is scenic and because it is near the Buddha. Mwha.
Got the tickets. We got our tickets. We're heading back and unlike the way up where we had to wait for like an hour. No wait going down it is going to be awesome.
We're back at the MTR station and that is a wrap. So if you want to do this and you want to take the cable car. We got the cheapest option which didn't have the glass floors and that was 185 Hong Kong Dollars. Yep. Which is about twenty three twenty four US bucks. So it is not the cheapest but for a return ticket you do get some really nice views and yeah this makes a pretty cool day trip from the city center.
This is part of our Travel in Hong Kong video series showcasing Hong Kong food, Hong Kong culture and Hong Kong cuisine.

These symbolise the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary for enlightenment.
The statue is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces.
