Ngong Ping 360 & Tian Tan Buddha

#hkonbudget Ngong Ping 360 is famous for its cable car ride up to Lantau Island, but if you’re on a budget, the bus offers a cheaper and equally scenic route. At the top, the star is Tian Tan Buddha, one of the world’s largest seated Buddhas, which you can admire for free. Climb the 268 steps for a closer look and enjoy sweeping mountain and sea views. Nearby Po Lin Monastery, with its incense-filled courtyards, is also free to enter. The whole trip combines culture, nature, and breathtaking scenery—all without emptying your wallet. A true #hkonbudget highlight.
