Search ASIA Travel Tips .com November 2006

Opened to the public on 18 September 2006, Ngong Ping 360 is located on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island. It combines a stunning 5.7km cable car journey with an impressive cultural themed village and easy access to the Tian Tan Buddha Statue, the world’s largest, seated, outdoor, bronze Buddha statue.

Ngong Ping Skyrail is a 5.7km cableway supported by eight towers along the cableway route. The biggest cableway in Asia, the journey lasts for about 20-25 minutes and takes passengers to spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of North Lantau Country Park, the South China Sea, Tung Chung Bay and the Hong Kong International Airport.

Adjacent to the Ngong Ping Skyrail Terminal at the summit, the 1.5 hectare Ngong Ping Village is designed in the traditional Chinese style and boasts beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a relaxing and natural ambience for guests to enjoy their peaceful surroundings and the plethora of dining, retail and entertainment experiences on offer.

Ngong Ping 360 is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, 10:00 am to 6:30 pm on weekends, and 9:00 am to 6:30 pm on special days.

Ngong Ping 360 is located next to MTR Tung Chung Station, only 28 minutes by MTR from the Tung Chung line’s Hong Kong Station in Central and is easily accessible from the international airport. It was developed and financed by the MTR Corporation, and is managed by Skyrail-ITM (Hong Kong) Ltd, whose Australian parent company built and operates the world-famous Skyrail Rainforest Cableway in Cairns and operates the SkySafari cableway at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.
