Today our itinerary is to Lantau Island. We are going to take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to Lantau Island. As usual, take the MRT to Tung Chung. One can purchase package which consists of cable car ticket and 2 variety shows. Or just purchase for the cable car. There are 2 types of cabin, crystal cabin or the normal type. There are no discounts for elderly (only applicable for HK citizen) but they are having promotion that day which is free ticket for kids.
Say “Cheese” after you board on the cable car where the staff there snaps a photo for you. Just for fun, we wave goodbye to the return cable car and see how many of them will wave back to us.
The Giant Buddha, the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha, looking down on us, blessing everyone of us.
You can enjoy a vegetarian lunch at Po Lin Monastery.
There is another attractions that you might not miss, Wisdom Path (心经简林).
It is a sutra displayed on wooden pillars placed in the form of a figure "∞" to symbolize the idea of immeasurable splendor and infinity. Follow the directional sign to a Tea Garden and walk through the hiking trail from the entrance of Tea Garden for 15 mins.
Way back, most people’s blog suggest heading to Tai O fishing village by boat. But we decided to do some shopping at Tung Chung since the weather is so cold. Tung Chung Plaza, where the branded factory outlet located at, you may shop till you drop.
As we are not keen to branded things, we just walk around and headed to Tsim Sha Tsui. Walking along the Victoria Harbor and view the beautiful Christmas lights decorations. The Avenue of Stars(星光大道), It is a tribute to Hong Kong’s film industry where you can find hand imprints and autograph of stars and film director. We have missed the Symphony of Lights show presented at 8pm. But wrap with happiness finding the hand print of our favorites star.
Our next stop is Lan Kwai Fong. Take the MTR station to Central and look for Exit D2. Walk along Theatre Lane and up to D’Aguilar Street, you find the Coach outlet at the Junction. Then walk about 5 minutes to Lan Kwai Fong. That night doesn’t seem much people. Maybe due to the constructions work there, or the cold weather or the night still young for those bar lovers.
