The Ngong Ping 360 is a tourism project on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The project was previously known as Tung Chung Cable Car Project before acquiring the Ngong Ping 360 brand in April 2005. It consists of the Ngong Ping Cable Car, a gondola lift formerly known as the Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail, and the Ngong Ping Village, a retail and entertainment centre adjacent to the cable car's upper station.

Ngong Ping 360 serves to connect Tung Chung, on the north coast of Lantau and itself linked to central Hong Kong by the Tung Chung rail line, with the Ngong Ping area in the hills above. This is home to the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha, both already significant tourist attractions in their own right. Prior to Ngong Ping 360's opening, the only access was via a mountain road and bus service.

Ngong Ping 360 is owned by the MTR Corporation, the operator of Hong Kong's rail system. It was built by Leitner Ropeways and was originally operated by Skyrail-ITM. Skyrail-ITM was removed from the project after an investigation following an incident in June 2007. It is now operated by a directly owned subsidiary of the MTR Corporation.

Ok..JM sambung lagi pasal Ngong Ping Village ni..kat sana terdapat satu statue Big Budha.

Source from Wikipedia :

Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha, is a large bronze statue of a Buddha Amoghasiddhi, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is located near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a popular tourist attraction

The statue is named Tian Tan Buddha because its base is a model of the Altar of Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is one of the five large Buddha statues in China. The Buddha statue sits on a lotus[disambiguation needed] throne on top of a three-platform altar. It is surrounded by six smaller bronze statues known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" and are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha. These offerings symbolize charity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary to enter into nirvana.

The Buddha is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was the world's tallest outdoor bronze seated Buddha prior to 2007.[3] It reputedly can even be seen from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 240 steps in order to reach the Buddha, though the site also features a small winding road to the Buddha for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped.

The Tian Tan Buddha appears serene and dignified. His right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction.The Buddha's left hand rests on his lap in a gesture of giving dhana. The Buddha faces north, which is unique among the great Buddha statues, as all others face south.

In addition, there are 3 floors beneath the Buddha statue: The Hall of Universe, The Hall of Benevolent Merit, and The Hall of Remembrance. One of the most renowned features inside is a relic of Gautama Buddha, consisting of some of his alleged cremated remains. Only visitors who purchase an offering for the Buddha are allowed to see the relic, in order to leave the offering there. There is a huge carved bell inscribed with images of Buddhas in the show room. It was designed to ring every seven minutes, 108 times a day, symbolising the release of 108 kinds of human vexations.

Peaceeee...eheheeh

Dalam 20minit jugak perjalanan dengan kereta kabel ke Ngong Ping Village dan seperti yang korang nampak..sesi tembak menembak bermula dan dalam 15 minit perjalanan...hujan mulai turun..seperti yang dimaklumkan sebelum ni..kiranya korang datang musim Summer..beginilah cuacanya..hujan dan panas tidak menentu..tetapi syukur alhamdulillah selepas kami jejak je kaki ke Village ni..hujan pun berhenti...kami pun apa lagi..horeee lah..senang nak berjalan dan sesi berposing..tapi saat gembira itu tidak lama...hujan datang kembali dan member terpaksa membeli payung di kedai yang berdekatan.

Kalau korang nak masuk tengok statue Big Budha yang ada kat belakang tu..akan dikenakan bayaran HKD28 seorang. Dah puas berjimba..ahahaha...lebih kurang 2 jam jugaklah kami di sini....kami ambil keputusan untuk ke Citygate Outlet. Sampai je kat Cable Car stesen..mak aihh..ramai nya orang...beratur panjang sehingga ke tangga escalator..nasib baik kami datang awal..tak percaya..cuba lihat gambar kat bawah ni...

Turun sahaja dari Cable Car terus terjah Citygate..nak lihat apa yang ada kat dalam tue...mak aihh..masuk-masuk jer...mula lah rambang mata ni ha..semua branded outlet dengan harga murah..memang tengah sale..JM dapat grab sebuah jam tangan Ellesse kat City Chain..harga HKD1380..tapi sale dapat HKD600 jer..wahh...ada banyak lagi branded outlet seperti Calvin Klein, Coach, Puma, Nike dan banyak lagi tak tersenarai kat sini.

Suasana di cityGate Outlet

Tak lama kami kat sini sebab nak pegi ke Disneyland pulak lepas ni..so memang tak puas pusing-pusing lagi..apakan daya masa tidak mengizinkan..jika ada peluang untuk datang lagi..Citygate mesti termasuk dalam senarai itirenary.

Direction to Disneyland Resort :
1. Dari Tung Chung Stesen turun di Sunny Bay Stesen
2. Tukar train, naik train ke Disneyland Resort
3. Fee HKD12.90

Hooeeeeyyyyeeee...akhirnya kami sampai ke Disneyland Resort di mana tempat ini amat sesuai untuk kanak-kanak yang berumur 7 tahun ke atas..tapi kami tak kira...walaupun dalam lingkungan umur 30-an, kami ingin enjoy seperti kanak-kanak riang. Disneyland Resort ni terbahagi kepada four land utama iaitu Tomorrow Land, Fantasy Land, Adventure Land dan Toy Story Land. You aallll pilih lah mana land yang korang nak masuk dan bergembira. Kami ingin merasai keseronokan ketika berada di sana. Terdapat pelbagai permainan dan teater yang disediakan dan kebanyakan lebih sesuai untuk kanak-kanak.

Bagi JM memang enjoy je kat Disneyland nih..kalau ada rezeki nak bawak adik-adik merasai keseronokan ni....akan tetapi kepada sesiapa yang pernah ke Everland, Seoul - Korea..ia lebih sesuai kepada golongan dewasa dan game yang disediakan lebih mencabar. Kami sampai dalam jam 3.00 petang dan waktu tu kaunter lengang..kami terus ke kaunter untuk membeli tiket dan harga yang dikenakan per entry HKD399/person. Jikalau malas nak beratur panjang boleh jer beli online kat sini http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/ticketsAndReservations

General Admission Fee ( Aged 12 -64 )         -----> HKD399
Child Ticket                  ( Aged 3 -11 )           -----> HKD285

You alll pandai-pandai lah ye pilih hari dan masa yang sesuai..kalau pergi hari sabtu atau ahad..memang ramai pelancong, jadi peluang untuk main semua permainan agak terhad dan perlu beratur panjang untuk sampai giliran.
