To visit the majestic Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island, you have a number of convenient options:
Ngong Ping 360: One of the most scenic routes to the Big Buddha is via the Ngong Ping Cable Car. You can begin your journey at the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal, which is a short walk from Tung Chung MTR Station (Exit B). The ride offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding areas, including the South China Sea and the lush mountains of Lantau Island.
If you prefer a more private mode of transportation, you can hire a car or take a taxi directly to Ngong Ping Village. This is typically the most expensive option but offers flexibility in terms of schedule and stops.
Travellers coming from Central Hong Kong can take a ferry to Mui Wo from the Central Ferry Pier No. 6 and then board New Lantao Bus 2 to reach Ngong Ping Village.
The Tian Tan Buddha is open from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm every day.
After visiting the Tian Tan Buddha, don't miss out on the nearby Po Lin Monastery and the serene Wisdom Path, both within walking distance from the Buddha statue.
