Quite a climb, nice place and great view. Loved the cable car.Ours got stuck in the middle due to some technical fault and we were at quite a height when it happened but regular updates and announcements were being made which was nice.

Wow the cable car ride was an experience, the kids love it! esp on the way back when you can see the airport. It was a nice walk from the cable car station to the big buddha, try going on weekdays to avoid the crowd. There are restaurant and burger joints at the station, so its ok to go empty... More

Once there, you can have a nice... More

Went to Lantau Island to Tao O and Big Buddha. Very easy to get to. Ferry at Central well marked. Leave ferry at Lantau, walk to parking lot on left and you will find buses for both sights. The fishing village of Tao O is unusual and quaint. I got there early and was reluctant to eat there. It is... More
