if you are a fan of culture this is for you. if you planning to go up to the hill you must be ready mentally and physically with 268 stair steps. not much to in this area in other village is more of established and food restau and the cable of ngong ping going back to the city, that’s a separate ticket.

Amazing Lantau Island Experience! The Lantau Island Big Buddha tour was incredible! Booking through Klook made everything so easy and stress-free. The tour was well-organized, and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the island. The highlight was, of course, the majestic Big Buddha—it’s breathtaking up close! We also enjoyed the serene atmosphere at the Po Lin Monastery and the vegetarian lunch was surprisingly delicious. The Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride offered stunning views of the island, a perfect way to wrap up the experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hong Kong—it’s a must-see and worth every penny! --- Let me know if you’d like me to tailor it further!

Although we didn't see the white dolphins, the weather was very good that day. The boatman would take the guests to see the houseboat first, and then go outside the embankment to look for dolphins. It would take about 10 minutes to look for dolphins. If they didn't find them, they would turn back... I think the key point is to look at the houseboat and look for dolphins. It should be attached (?

the tour guide was kind enough to help all of the people in the tour. what he lacked in English, he made up for with his patience and his jolly attitude. will definitely book again in the future.

A month ago when I learned that my Singaporean friends would be coming to Hong Kong for a few days, I planned to participate in an unforgettable day tour for 11 of them. I signed up for this tour through Klook The tour group was actually very dangerous that day because it was a typhoon signal No. 1 in the morning and a typhoon signal No. 3 in the afternoon. If the typhoon signal number 3 comes into effect, Ngong Ping 360 will be suspended and will not be able to go out to sea to see the white dolphins. However, the tour guide Maria Kwok was very professional and responsible, she WhatsApped me the night before, communicated with me, through communication knew that the group only 16 of us, equal to 1 private package tour, so I discussed the itinerary with her Lee was able to ride the 360 and get on the boat to see the white dolphins, so we reversed the trip up and down and finally completed all the trips. The tour guide Maria Kwok was competent, responsible, professional and well prepared. My Singaporean friends and family had an unforgettable day tour, they were all very happy, and after returning to Singapore, definitely recommend the above tour to their friends 💯💯💯👍👍👍

Honestly the best tour going to Ngong Ping and riding the cable car. No need to line up to get tickets! Food was also part of the package so no need to worry where to eat.

First we admired the scenery of the stilts, and then we speeded up to take everyone to look for traces of dolphins. We were lucky enough to see them several times, and also saw the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. It was very worth it!

esim is really easy to use. It’s convenient as you don’t need to change the sim card. You can connect to the Internet as soon as you arrive in Hong Kong and it’s very smooth to use.
