Travel Blog (Hong Kong - Tian Tan Buddha Statue)
July 21, 2007

 

Date : July 1, 2007 ( 1 day)

It is a public holiday and important day in Hong Kong.

This is the day of 10 year memory of return Hong Kong to China

from British.

 

Travel Place :

Hong Kong  – Tung Chung, Ngong Ping Village, Po Lin Monastery,

                        Tian Tan Buddha Statue

 

Weather : about 20 degree C , rainy day.

 

This is public holiday in Hong Kong and colleague of China factory

request me to go for sight seeing together in Lantau Island,

it is my pleasure to guide them and we both enjoy this trip.

 

There are so many first time that happen in that day :

1.      Normally they come to Hong Kong by car not by boat.

2.      This is the first time we go for sight seeing and take photo together.

3.      This is also my first time to visit Ngong Ping Village and

Tian Tan Buddha Statue even they build up many years before.

4.      We have 6 persons but only with 2 umbrella, the weather is not stable,

every 10-15 minutes with 5-10 minutes rainy, all peoples can guess the

rainy time and we just run and gather together with 2 umbrella.

The weather is very funny, we both together think how to plan the

journey to fit the rainy time, it is really funny day for us.

5.      We have lunch at Ngong Ping Village, but the price of one dish

      of vegetable (only vegetable) is very expensive,

      more expensive than eat in 5 Star hotel.

 

Ngong Ping Village :

There are many traditional Chinese Souvenirs you can purchase.

There are one Chinese/western restaurant, Japanese Noodle Café and

Taiwanese Bistro, place is nice.

 

Po Lin Monastery/Tian Tan Buddha Statue

Tian Tan Buddha is very big and beautiful,

you need to walk many ladder to reach the Buddha.

Environment is nice and air is fresh.

 

Routing :

Reach Tung Chung MTR station, take No 23 public bus to

Ngong Ping Village/Tian Tan Buddha Statue (about 45 Minutes)

Only can reach there by Public bus or Taxi, can’t reach by private car

except you have permit.

Ngong Ping Village is a place build beside Tian Tan Buddha Statue, only for sight seeing and tourist, famous for skyride 360, you can take skyride 360 from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping Village and reach Tian Tan Buddha, it can save the time and see the scenery of Lantau Island. It is not exciting, if you want exciting, it is better to visit Ocean Park and Disney Land.
Oh you've just upload your blog.

I've never heard about Ngong Ping Village. Is it good place to visit or one of those places for tourists but not so exicting?
