Giant buddha is a spectacular site in itself but access via cable car from Tung Chung makes it even more worthwhile. On a clear day, views from cable car are first class. Po Lin Monastery is quaint but a lot of shops around are very touristy. Meal in monastery refectory is very cheap, wholesome but will be far more than... more
Took the cable car last year and enjoyed the ride with great views but should have stayed on and not got off at the top. A rather tacky tourist complex greets you and after spending a few minutes walking through it with not one place enticing us in we headed for the Budha. With a hot sticky climb up and... more

A fair way to spend half a day, a trip out to Lantua and the Po Lin was interesting and enjoyable. We took the ferry out from HK island, and had a very enjoyable walk back down through the woods to Tung Chung to get the MTR back into Kowloon. An easy route to follow with great views, it takes... more
