A cable car ride is one of the best ways to take in a city’s urban splendor and the same is true for Hong Kong’s Ngon Ping 360 cable car ride. As one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong, the ride treats you to spectacular views of nearby attractions giving you a unique perspective that you’ll never forget.
About the Ride
Located on Lantau Island, just over an hour’s drive from the Dorsett Wan Chai Hong Kong, the cable car ride stretches more than 5.7 kilometres and includes options for a one-way trip plus a complete round trip. The ride is available on weekdays and weekends giving you plenty of opportunity to try it during your stay.
Types of Cabins Available
The cable car ride offers three types of cabins that you can choose from. The Standard cabin provides a cosy interior with large windows for panoramic views. The Crystal cabin features a translucent glass bottom for a more exciting ride. The Crystal+ includes fully transparent tempered glass on all four sides for a 360-degree unobstructed view.
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to enjoy a ride on Ngong Ping 360 is during the months from October to March when the weather is cooler and more suitable for outdoor activities. You’ll do well to avoid going on weekends and public holidays as you’ll encounter larger crowds on these days.
Sights to See During the Ride
One of the best things about Ngong Ping 360 is the several landmarks and sceneries that you won’t get to see from any hotel suite in Hong Kong. These include the picturesque coastal views of Tung Chung Bay, sprawling views of the Lantau North Country Park, and magnificent views of the bronze Tian Tan Buddha statue.
