Program details
Escape the city as you discover the largest island of Hong Kong: Lantau Island. A favourite for locals and visitors alike, not to mention, one of the best-loved outlying retreats with hidden gems waiting for you around every corner!Highlights- Admire panoramic views of the Island
- Visit Tai O and see traditional stilt houses hovering over the water
- Marvel the 34-metre high buddha statue at Po Lin Monastery
Embark on a spectacular adventure and the most picturesque way to travel to Lantau as you board a cable car that will take you on a breath-taking 5.7 km journey in the air with unbeatable views of the Hong Kong International Airport, the mountainous landscapes of Lantau Island, the Big Buddha and a 360-degree view of Ngong Ping Plateau.
On the island, you can get back to nature and experience local life by exploring Tai O, a quaint fishing village dotted with traditional houses on stilts. Home to the Tanka people, a community of fisher folk that have been there for generations, Tai O's stilt houses form a network of interconnected habitations that effectively float on the water.
Later, come face to face with the glistening spectacle of Tian Tan Buddha, also appropriately known as Big Buddha, which is the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha statue at the Po Lin Monastery. At 34 metres high, it is a formidable, beautiful and breathtaking site. It famously symbolises the harmonious balance between humans, nature and religion, and is a major centre for Buddhism in Hong Kong. Its home, the Po Lin Monastery, was originally founded by three monks and contains three more bronze Buddha statues, representing the past, present and future. At the monastery you can also enjoy a tasty vegetarian meal, wind down, relax and reflect on your fun-filled excursion.
