Ngong Ping<br />
360 Cable Car<br />
A gateway to discovering Lantau<br />
Island, the journey begins with a 25 minute<br />
cable car ride from Tung Chung and offers a<br />
spectacular bird's eye view of the deep blue sea and<br />
surrounding lush greeneries. The end of the ride will see you<br />
greeted by the culturally themed Ngong Ping Village, which<br />
provides delightful shopping and dining experiences. Since<br />
it is Chinese New Year, why not make a visit to the Big<br />
Buddha? Located within a few minutes’ walk from Ngong<br />
Ping 360 cable car station, the bronze Big Buddha statue is<br />
the second-largest outdoor sitting Buddha in the world. And,<br />
here's another fun fact: there are about 268 steps you need<br />
to climb to take a closer look of the statue.<br />
To Get There: Take Exit B from Tung<br />
Chung station, follow the signs and<br />
walk about 2-3 minutes to the<br />
cable car counter.<br />
Lan Kwai<br />
Fong<br />
At Lan Kwai Fong, the night is<br />
always young as evident through the<br />
throngs of clubs, bars and restaurants lining<br />
up the street. A must for party goers and people<br />
watchers, Lan Kwai Fong is one of Hong Kong's<br />
most popular nightlife hot spots which houses over<br />
90 restaurants and bars. It hosts carnivals, festivals<br />
and even has its own beer festival. An often lively<br />
place, Lan Kwai Fong is usually filled with workers<br />
taking a rest after a day's labour.<br />
To Get There: Take Exit D2 from MTR<br />
Central Station, walk along Theatre<br />
Lane and uphill to D'Aguilar<br />
Street. About 5 minutes walk<br />
to Lan Kwai Fong.<br />
Tsim Sha<br />
Shui<br />
If you are into shopping, then<br />
Tsim Sha Tsui might just be the place<br />
to be. Dubbed as one of Hong Kong's best<br />
shopping districts, stalls, shops, markets and malls<br />
are aplenty here. Be marvelled as you take on<br />
the streets to find Bollywood-themed memorabilia,<br />
Shanghainese tailors, sweet-talking restaurant touts,<br />
gorgeous gems and jewellery, flashy cameras,<br />
international brand name stores and Asian street<br />
label boutiques. Alternatively, you can also slip into<br />
a number of spacious and plush malls along the<br />
streets such as iSQUARE, The One and K11.<br />
To Get There: Take Exit P1<br />
from MTR Tsim Sha Tsui<br />
