Place: HK, Lantau Island China - Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail

Lantau is a little bit far from Kowloon but it's just a train ride away.  Do the Crystal car (glass bottom cable car) - the best part is you get to pass up all the standard ticket people in line, which is really helpful because the line is really long.  It's a very ltlle more money, and well worth it to have effective and enjoyable way to make your way up the mountains of Lantau Island to see the Giant Buddha and the Monastery.  





I enjoyed the 25 minutes cable car ride, taking pictures of the Big Buddha from afar with a magnificent view of the sea and mountains.  I especially enjoyed the sights when I got there.  At the top is a tourist village with a few restaurants, souvenir shops and ice cream stands, and two attractions - "Walking with Buddha" where you learn about the first Buddha, and a "Monkey attraction" that is for kids. 

There are a lot of souvenir shops in the area. After sight-seeing, I also tried some of the local street foods which are a lot cheaper. And also, don't forget to visit the mall in Tung Chung where a lot of items are on sale. This is definitely a must-see attraction in Hong Kong!
