Since it's Sunday we anticipated there'd be many people
taking the Ngong Ping 360 昂平 cable car,
still, the crowd was overwhelming.
Took 1 hour plus of waiting even though we arrived in Lantau island 大屿山 around 10am.
And we thought we were early...-_-"
We stood there in queue while people who had booking online walked pass us to the ride.
How I wished we'd done that too.
So, here's a tip, book online to avoid the queue. :)
Cable car return ticket HKD 187.
The extra HKD 7 was for 2 short shows at Ngong Ping.
We find it not worth it. Unless you have kids, then maybe..
View from cable car was awesome with a lot to take in.
It's a loooong ride, and we both enjoyed it.
Locals digging for clams at the shore
Going up higher and higher.....
More to be seen. People hiking on the many trails.
Taking a break. It is a long trail
Finally, the tian tan big buddha 天坛大佛 appear in sight
Our original plan was to have vegetarian food at Po Lin Monastery.
But there were so many restaurants right after we got out of the cable car,
and we surrendered to the temptation of food.
Pizza at Ebeneezer (HKD 85) and
mango pancake (HKD 28) from Honeymoon Dessert 满记甜品.
The mango pancake was something special and we both enjoyed it.
The famous tian tan big buddha 天坛大佛
We didn't climb up the staircase, but regretted now
I wonder how the view looks like from the top...
Utilising our time to the fullest we went straight to Stanley 赤柱 after Lantau island.
This time we got on top deck of the bus and were glad we made that choice.
We were able to take in the view of the sea and surroundings which were obscured by trees.
It reminded me of Batu Ferrenghi back in Penang.
Watching sunset from Stanley Promenade
There was a concert at the Stanley Plaza by HKFolk 香港友 that night.
Always loving good live music and it's contagious atmosphere,
we took away pork burgers from a McDonalds nearby and had a great time!~
Took the star ferry 天星小轮 back to Tsim Sha Tsui.
It was a short ride.
So short that I wished there's more time for another ride.
It was very relaxing, sitting by the window enjoying the night view and sea breeze.
Since it was our last night in Hong Kong we decided to have more dim sum
and chose Sweet Dynasty for supper.
Prawn and pork dumplings and mango dessert. Total HKD 130.
I'm not a fan of dim sum but if they're all this good I don't mind having more! :)
