Off to Ngong Ping Village

Our first itinerary in HK is Ngong Ping Village. For those who aware...its one of RM itinerary. So what if I plan the trip based on my bias...sue me :)
After dropped our baggage at hotel, we continue the trip for day one. We need to go to Prince Edward MTR St, its only 5 min walk from hotel. We still need to change line at Lai King in order to reach Thung Chung (last station for orange line).
Only a moment walk from Thung Chung station, we've reached the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car. You can choose how to reach Ngong Ping Village by any transportation mode. We choose to use the cable car, it took shorter time and the scenery along were magnificent. It took about 25 min to reach the village.
Ngong Ping Village's main attraction is The Giant Buddha. To reach the highest platform, we need to climb hundreds of stairs. This village was used as a background in various china movies.
I saw some people were praying, but most of other only visiting. Not like my experience in Thailand. Although most of Thai are Buddhist, but they also had lot of religious tourist. Maybe they prefer go to the temple at HK island.
We spent some time in this village, and then use the cable car to go back. We're heading to second place on our itinerary. And its DISNEYLAND ppl!! ^^
