BIG BUDDHA WHO? BIG BUDDHA, WHERE???

Alright, so you’ve made it to Hong Kong, now what? I suggest you go to Address-Ngong Ping Rd, Lantau Island Why? To see the Big Buddha statue of course! Another thing I suggest if you don’t mind, is opting for a crystal cable car (glass bottom). I took that one and I saw the lush green scenery of the trees beneath my feet and the teal of the water as I made the journey to the island. The crystal car is more expensive than the regular one and honestly, since I paid for that one-I can you it’s not at all necessary if you decided to opt out. The best benefits of the crystal car was that I had a whole one to myself (usually sit 8-10 people) and there was no line when I was ready to hop on and off. Operation time is from 10am-6pm. I spent the entire day here because it was a task to get great pictures and videos free of other tourists milling about. It’s a popular destination afterall. Make sure you have a hearty breakfast before you go, I don’t remember any restaurants there. Oh and pack a powerbank. If you ended up like me and both powerbank and phone are low on battery, there is small place close to what you’d call the town where the shops are, that you can use to recharge so long as you have your charging cable. I’m sorry I don’t remember the name but after leaving big Buddha, the store is on your right and there is this coin machine inside and lots of pamphlets talking about butterflies. Don’t mean to be dramatic but I felt that place saved my life cause I don’t know what I’d have done without my phone. Also, if you have no charging cable, get one at 7-Eleven there. It should cost no more than 12HKD. Hope that’s helpful!#hongkong #lantauisland #ngongping360 #passionpassport #tripmoments
