Things to do in Lantau North Country Park

We went on a very sunny day, the weather was great. We took the Crystal Cabin. There were more sights on the right side – the airport, the big bridge... (Actually, you can see them more clearly from an airplane; the cable car isn't high enough). But on the left side, you can eventually see the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. In the Crystal Cabin, it feels like you're standing on water and above the forest. I later realized that the Ngong Ping 360 advertisement features the panoramic cabin. I believe the panoramic cabin would give an even stronger 'person in the air' sensation. When we arrived, there were still decorations for the 20th anniversary, even though it had just ended. There's an Ngong Ping Bing Sutt (cafe) for photo opportunities. Inside the cabin, only the small windows open for ventilation, so it felt a bit stuffy. On the return trip, in a standard cabin, the sun hadn't set by 6:00 PM because it was summer, and clouds were covering the sun. I recommend allowing more time, 5 hours or more, if you want to visit the Big Buddha in addition to Po Lin Monastery. I didn't go up that day, not only because I didn't have enough time but also because it was too sunny; the weather only became overcast closer to 5 PM. I had been up before, so I didn't go again, but last time I took the bus only to the Big Buddha and didn't visit Po Lin Monastery.

It was my first time in Hong Kong and I wanted to do everything, so I chose the Peak Tram I'd been dreaming of, the Sunset Flyover, plus the wine glass gift box and Lan Kwai Fong special offers. Unfortunately, my alcohol tolerance is really not that great, so in the end my friend and I only visited two bars, otherwise we probably could have hit up a few more. Spending the whole day having fun from Victoria Harbour all the way to Lan Kwai Fong makes for a perfect day trip, and you don't have to look for tickets separately for every single attraction, which I think is very friendly for beginners. Overall, playing through the whole itinerary still felt like a really good value!

The cable car staff and guides were all very kind and made learning about and sightseeing Tai O Fishing Village and the Tian Tan Buddha enjoyable. I don't think I would have been able to visit Tai O Fishing Village on my own, nor would I have learned about its history. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about Hong Kong's rich history. We took the cable car back after 4 PM, and it was very crowded, so you might want to consider a priority pass, such as the Crystal Cabin.

This snack voucher is a bit cheaper, but the discount isn't great because it can only be used for certain set meals. If you want to eat at other places, you can order à la carte. The selection is limited to only a few restaurants, not all of them. I hope there will be more options for us to use it, and hopefully better discounts.

The experience was amazing and memorable. I'm glad we booked for 2 consecutive days and we got to ride almost everything except for the Jungle Cruise due to maintenance problem. But what i like the most was family got the chance to find a perfect spot in front of the magical castle. i was able to film the whole 20-minute momentous moment. A once in a lifetime experience indeed.

Overall, the RV was great, and the air conditioning was sufficiently cold, though the shower water pressure was a bit low. The service was good, and the foreign staff explained everything clearly! We purchased the BBQ set, and the food quality was excellent; it was enough to fill up three people! For water activities, my child and I chose surfing. The foreign instructor was very good, and my child, who was surfing for the first time, was already able to stand on the board. The RV rental seems to be operated in conjunction with the beach store, so many extra items like mosquito coils, insect repellent, beach supplies, sodas, and snacks are available at reasonable prices. This means you don't have to carry so many things all the way there! 😆

Great value for money. While I enjoyed Ngongping 360 round trip + Ngongping village very much, I will probably skip the Tai O village if I can do it all over again.
