Coisas para fazer em Tian Tan Buddha

We went on a scorching hot day, the weather was great. We took the Crystal Cabin. There's more to see on the right side – the airport, the big bridge... (Actually, it's clearer from an airplane, it's not 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 promotes the panoramic cabin. I believe the panoramic cabin would feel even more like 'being in the air'. When we got there, there were still 20th-anniversary decorations, even though the celebration had just ended. There's Ngong Ping Cafe for photo opportunities. The cabin only has small vents for ventilation, so it felt a bit stuffy. On the return trip, in the standard cabin, the sun hadn't set by 6:00 PM because it was summer, and there were clouds covering the sun. I recommend allowing more time, 5 hours or more, if you want to go up to the Big Buddha, in addition to visiting Po Lin Monastery. I didn't go up that day, partly because I didn't have enough time and it was too sunny; the weather only became overcast closer to 5 PM. I had been up before, so I didn't go again; last time I took the bus only to the Big Buddha and hadn't visited Po Lin Monastery.

Such a fantastic tour. The tour guide Jason was very helpful and guided us very well. I am so impressed. Definitely recommend.

The trip was fantastic. I truly enjoyed it, especially the cable car. The guides were truly experienced and knew their craft well.

This was a great way to see a lot of cool stuff in an organized fashion. We elected to get a crystal bottom car and really enjoyed the beautiful trip on the cable car. Our tour guide, Ivan, was very knowledgeable, communicated clearly, and had an entertaining personality. Highly recommend going to the mall afterwards to grab food. So many options!

Awesome tour, bus for in town pickup was on time, tour guide was friendly and helpful.

The workshop was excellent, and the instructor was very accommodating. After we made tofu pudding, the instructor also provided materials to make peanut mochi afterward! The instructor was very accommodating regarding food allergies. One of the participants in the workshop had a nut allergy, and the instructor quickly separated the materials to minimize contamination and offered red bean filling for the mochi to the person with the allergy. The instructor also asked for our water bottles to fill them with the leftover soy milk that wasn't used for making the tofu pudding. The instructor does not speak English, but we understand Cantonese.

We recently joined the Tai O Fishing Village sightseeing trip. We took a bus from Tung Chung Bus Terminal to Tai O, which took about 30–45 minutes. Upon arrival, it was easy to locate the boarding pier; just look out for the signboard displaying the Klook sign. We simply scanned the QR code before boarding the boat. The boat ride lasted around 20 minutes and offered a good view of the traditional fishing houses built on stilts, which are one of Tai O’s most iconic sights. The boat then ventured further out into the waters in search of the famous pink dolphins, but unfortunately, we were not able to spot any. After the boat tour, we spent a little time exploring the small village on foot. The village has some small local shops. We stopped at a shop to try the absolutely delicious cream puff (donut) and topped them with ice cream. Check it out if you are there!

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.

It was a very interesting experience. The instructor was kind and friendly, and even shared some history about Tai O. The environment was clean and hygienic. However, it might be better to try contacting the shop directly?
