The Ngong
Ping 360 experience starts with a 25 minute cable car ride
from Tung Chung to a culturally themed village high atop a mountain
plateau on Lantau Island. It's here at the Ngong
Ping Village, that your family can enjoy three great attractions
and a choice of shops and eateries, all on this picturesque 1.5-hectare
site.
The
Walking
with Buddha multimedia facility takes you through the life of
Siddhartha Gautama - the man who became Buddha - and along his path
to enlightenment. Travelling through the various stages of Siddhartha's
life, you will witness his transition from being a Prince at Court
to reaching supreme awareness and becoming Buddha. You will also
learn about the Buddha's teachings through a variety of themed scenes
and activities.
The
Monkey's
Tale Theatre presents a charming and comical 'show' inspired
by the famous Buddhist Jataka stories. Set in a magical courtyard
under the branches of a majestic Bodhi Tree, this story will engage
and inspire guests of all ages. Computer generated animation, combined
with special effects and surround sound, will engage your senses
and immerse you in the 'monkey's tale'. Be amused by the antics
of the three monkey friends, as they travel on a journey of greed,
gluttony and friendship.
More
discoveries are in store at the Ngong
Ping Tea House, which provides regular demonstrations of traditional
Chinese tea ceremonies, as well as offering a selection of fine
teas and cakes. Set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, this
will be the world's first interactive, multimedia teahouse. This
unique attraction features professional Chinese tea masters who
conduct the tea ceremonies and explain the ancient history of tea
and its development over the ages.
Just five minutes walk from Ngong Ping Village, you'll find the Po
Lin Monastery and the serene Giant
Buddha, the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha statue.
Ngong Ping 360 can be enjoyed as a complete day tour, booked in
components, or packaged with other tourist operators. Check out
special offers, ticketing information and opening hours here.
From Ngong Ping Village, you can take a bus or taxi to explore other parts of Lantau Island, including the famous stilt houses of Tai O Village, the magic of Hong Kong Disneyland, and the interesting Mui Wo near the ferry pier.
