Hong Kong Lantau Island Big Buddha, Kwun Yum Temple & Tai O Stilt House Tour with Cable Car

Ride the Ngong Ping 360 cable car
to Lantau Island

Meet your guide at Tung Chung MTR Station at 10:00 AM to start the tour. Learn how Lantau Island is connected to the old Kai Tak Airport and how the construction of the new airport changed the livelihoods of the island's indigenous residents.

Skip the cable car queue with priority boarding and enjoy about 20 minutes of panoramic views over Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. On clear days you may even see mainland China and Macau on the horizon.

Hear the stories of the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery

Walk past the busy Ngong Ping Village to the main gate of Po Lin Monastery, where the guided tour officially begins. Learn how Chinese Buddhist architecture reflects the core beliefs of Buddhism.

After taking photos beneath the Big Buddha, climb 268 steps to the top. Your guide explains the meaning of the Buddha's hand gestures and the engineering challenges faced during construction, and you can also see sacred relics. Back at the monastery entrance, hear how Po Lin Monastery overcame financial hardship to become what it is today.

Enjoy a peaceful moment at the quiet Kwun Yum Temple

After a lunch break at Po Lin Monastery, take a private taxi to Kwun Yum Temple, a sanctuary few tourists visit. Discover why monks historically chose Lantau as a religious retreat and how this temple contrasts with the busy Po Lin Monastery. Depending on timing, you may take part in a religious ceremony and a short meditation inside the temple.

Visit the stilt houses of Tai O fishing village

Take another taxi to Tai O fishing village. Learn why this unique village was founded and why its iconic stilt houses were built, then visit a local fisherman's stilt house to experience traditional village life firsthand.
