Tian Tan Buddha

The cable car ride to reach this place was just so wow. Amazing experience. Though it was very cold and windy here in January, recommend to carry good puffer jackets. The place was beautiful and serene. Monastery was also very nice. Good experience.

Visiting the Tian Tan Buddha was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, our trip was filled with awe and excitement. Taking the cable car up to the top of the mountain was both thrilling and a little nerve-wracking, but the breathtaking views along the way made it all worthwhile. As the massive Buddha statue came into sight, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder. The ride itself added an extra layer of fun and adventure to the journey. Once at the top, the beauty of the surroundings was absolutely stunning. The lush greenery, the tranquil atmosphere, and the majestic statue were all picture-perfect. Every corner offered something worth photographing, from the intricate details of the Buddha to the panoramic views of the island below. Walking up the steps to the statue was a bit of a workout, but it was well worth the effort for the incredible views and the peaceful energy of the site. One tip for future visitors: the line for the return cable car ride is unbelievably long. After a day of exploring, waiting for hours can be exhausting, so we highly recommend purchasing the VIP ticket for the way back. It saves so much time and allows you to end the day on a relaxing note. Overall, visiting the Tian Tan Buddha was a magical and memorable experience. It’s absolutely worth adding to your travel itinerary!

Brilliant. We went during the colder season and while it was still a bit busy, we were able to get around quickly and there wasn’t too much of a wait on the cable carts. The staircase walk to the Buddha is certainly a bit tiring, but once you make it to the top, you’re greeted by an amazing view of the island and the incredible statue. One of a kind experience.

Loved the experience! The entire journey up was much more pleasant with the cool breeze. Use Klook to get some discounts by taking the Ngong Ping cable car. Once you reach the top, the grandeur of the statue is even more impressive in person. Highly recommend visiting this breathtaking site especially for first-timers!

Went to visit the Big Buddha statue during our last day of the China trip. It was absolutely amazing the view. There are a lot of people visiting the Buddha and the surrounding areas , so allow enough time to explore the area. If you take the cable care, it is highly recommended to purchase the ticket in advance to avoid the long lines.

Well worth a visit for the Cable car journey that gives great views on a clear day. Or take the path for the more adventitious. A slight bit commercial but otherwise tranquil and peaceful

Serene place, beautiful views, One of the tallest buddha statue. Good restaurants and shopping streets. Experience the cable car. Opt for less crowder timings like as soon as it opens. We had food at a Buddhist temple there.

Amazing place with breathtaking views. This is a must place for any tourist whether you go to worship or enjoy the scenery. Sundays are super crowded and mornings around 10am would be the best time to avoid crowds. I didn’t use hiking routes or cable cars. Buses from Ting Chung comes every 5 minutes while buses to Mui Wo ferry is every 30 minutes with lesser crowds. Prices for transport is lower in weekdays.
