[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Tian Tan Buddha (Updated Jul)

Anyone who has had a long layover knows how torturous it is, especially if you are at the airport and don't know what to do... But if it is Hong Kong Airport (HKIA), I must say that it is not boring because this place has everything like a shopping mall + accommodation + entertainment in one place! 🧳 First of all: Can I go outside? If you have more than 6 hours to layover (and visa is not a problem because Thai people do not need a visa to enter Hong Kong), Bee might try going outside the airport! There is an Airport Express train that is super fast and takes you into the city in 24 minutes, or you can take a bus for a different atmosphere. ⸻ 🏙️ If you have a lot of time (6–12 hours): Go out and visit places near the airport. 1. Citygate Outlets – A large outlet mall near the airport, easy to travel, lots of discounted brand items. 2. Po Lin Monastery (Big Buddha) – Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car up to see the Big Buddha on the mountain, beautiful and peaceful view. 3. Tung Chung Bay – Walk and take pictures by the sea. Great atmosphere ⸻ 🛋️ Not much time (3–5 hours): Being in the airport is not boring • Shopping – Duty free here is great, there are many brands, souvenirs are complete • Try local food – Try dim sum or authentic Hong Kong noodles, there are many delicious restaurants in the airport • Lounge – If you really want to relax, there are many lounges that you can enter for a fee, no need to be an airline member • Temporary shower room / sleeping room – Available for those who want to refresh ✨#Rainy season travel destination

#Rainy season attractions Recommended 10 places in Hong Kong that we feel are suitable for those who are visiting Hong Kong for the first time. It's like checking in to everything like this. Every place is very convenient to travel to. Most of us take the bus up. 1. Tian Tan Buddha, the Big Buddha temple next to Ngong Ping Village 2. Ngong Ping Village, you can take bus 23 from Citygate shopping mall or take a cable car. 3. Ngong Ping 360, a cable car from Ngong Ping that offers a 360-degree view of Hong Kong Island. 4. Kennedy Town, a port city by the bay that we feel is both peaceful and lively. The highlight is the corner to take pictures of the building from the basketball court. 5. The Peak lookout, a viewpoint of Hong Kong Island on Victoria Peak. You can take a tram up here or bus number 15 up here. It's also a trail running track. 6. The Peak Galleria, a shopping mall in the Peak area, has restaurants, souvenir shops, and many cafes. 7. Central, a district with a collection of tall buildings Many brand shops, lively, bustling and worth taking pictures. 8. Pottinger Street, a street in the Central area that will be made into stairs to go up, great for taking pictures. 9. Cheung Kong Park, a public park near the Central area as well, is shady and has a waterfall. It is another place to sit and relax. 10. iclub Wan Chai The last place is not a tourist attraction, but a place to stay. We feel that if anyone comes to Hong Kong for the first time, they can come and stay here because it is in the Wan Chai area, which is on the Hong Kong Island side. It is convenient to travel, with both the MTR and the tram running past the accommodation. #HongKong #Flying to Hong Kong #Visit Hong Kong #Review Hong Kong #Traveling abroad by yourself #Beautiful places to take pictures

Pre-trip preparations** 1. **Documents and endorsements** - Mainland tourists need to apply for the "Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents" and a valid endorsement (G endorsement for individual travel, L endorsement for group travel). Currently, it supports applying in different places, which takes about 7–15 working days and costs CNY 80. - When entering the country, you need to go through the self-service channel, prepare your fingerprint and facial recognition, and fill in the "Customs Passenger Fingertip Service" QR code in advance. 2. **Currency and payment** - Most shopping malls and chain stores support Alipay/WeChat Pay, but it is recommended to exchange a small amount of HKD (HKD 500–1,000 per person) for street snacks, Star Ferry, and other scenarios. The exchange rate at the port is poor, so prioritize making an appointment to exchange at a mainland bank. 3. **Communication and electronic equipment** - SIM card: It is recommended to buy a "MySIM" card after arriving in Hong Kong (HKD 33/month for 50G), which is more cost-effective than international roaming. - Conversion plug: Hong Kong uses British three-pin sockets, so you need to bring a converter or USB charging cable. 4. **Luggage suggestions** - Lightweight backpack, sunscreen, parasol (Hong Kong is hot and humid in summer), and sneakers (high daily walking volume). Hotels do not provide toothpaste and toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own. --- ### **II. Transportation** 1. **Airport to city** - **Airport Express**: Direct to Central in 24 minutes, fare is about HKD 115, suitable for tourists with limited time. - **Bus/Taxi**: A-line buses cover major areas and are affordable; taxi fares are higher (red/blue/green cars correspond to different areas). 2. **City transportation** - **Subway**: Covers the entire city.

Accommodation recommendations** - **Luxury hotels**: Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel), Central (Mandarin Oriental), etc., are adjacent to shopping areas and attractions. - **Budget hotels**: Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei are cost-effective, and "Hong Kong Mong Kok Vejune Hotel" is recommended. - **Avoidance tips**: Avoid choosing Chungking Mansions and unlicensed hostels, especially for female tourists. --- ### **IV. Must-see attractions and itinerary suggestions** 1. **Classic route (5 days and 4 nights)** - **Day 1**: Victoria Harbour night view + Star Ferry + Peak Tram (best for night view). - **Day 2**: Disneyland (fireworks show is a must-see) or Ocean Park (animal show + amusement facilities). - **Day 3**: Mong Kok street snacks + Tsim Sha Tsui shopping (Harbour City, K11). - **Day 4**: Cheung Chau Island (seafood + beach) or Lamma Island hike. - **Day 5**: Central historical district (PMQ) + Lan Kwai Fong nightlife. 2. **Niche experience** - **Sai Wan Swimming Shed**: Holy place for sunset photography. - **Shek O Village**: Colorful huts and beaches, the filming location of "King of Comedy." - **Temple Street Night Market**: Affordable night market, feel the atmosphere of Hong Kong movies. --- ### **V.

#100waysoftravel The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong.

You will need to climb the 258 steps to the top if you want to approach it nearer. There is an exhibition inside with air conditioning. The view is stunning from the top too! I think this is one of the best places to visit in Hong Kong. It’s accessible via the Ngong Ping cable car or bus. #hongkongtravelguide #hongkong

⭐ After visiting Hong Kong multiple times, I've discovered many hidden gems of activities. From the panoramic crystal cable car that spans mountains and seas to the sunset roller coaster that leads to the seaside, and the secluded life in a small fishing village, each spot has healed my soul. ⭐ If you have the chance to visit Hong Kong, be sure to set aside a day to experience the beauty of Hong Kong Island. Not only is there a rich cultural history, but there are also countless beautiful sights waiting for you. ✅ About the Sunset Bus The Sunset Bus is an open-top sightseeing bus that used to only be available in the city, but now it's also on Lantau Island. Sitting on the bus chasing the sunset, watching the sun slowly set from the sea level, and occasionally seeing planes pass by, it's super like playing the sunset roller coaster in 'Grand Theft Auto', so beautiful it's moving 😭. 【Bus Route: Starting point Ngong Ping 360→Disney→11SKIES→Airport Maintenance Area→Ngong Ping 360】 🔸 For those who want to watch the sunset, remember to take the 16:30 bus, departing after purchasing tickets at Ngong Ping 360. When the bus reaches the Airport Maintenance Area, it's the most beautiful moment of the sunset. ✅ One-Day Tour Recommendation The attractions are all near Ngong Ping 360, take the cable car to the mountaintop in the morning (a panoramic crystal cable car that spans the sea and mountains, the whole journey is 25 minutes, very spectacular, every frame is like a blockbuster). There are markets, Po Lin Monastery, and the Big Buddha on the mountaintop, all worth a visit. 🔸 At noon, you can take a 7-dollar bus to Tai O fishing village (a small fishing village built on river water, known as the 'Venice of Hong Kong') 🔸 In the evening, you can take a sightseeing car at the cable car place to chase a sunset at sea, be sure to take the 16:30 bus. 🕰 Route Recommendation Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cable Car→Ngong Ping Market→Big Buddha→Tai O Fishing Village→Panoramic Cable Car Return Trip→Sunset Bus🚌 📍 Address: Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car 🚇 Subway: Tung Chung Station Exit B, a 3-minute walk away ✅ Travel Tips 1⃣ Be sure to arrive at the cable car station before 10:00 in the morning, after 10 o'clock it gets very crowded. Make sure to get back down the mountain before 4:00 in the afternoon to catch the 4:30 sunset bus. 2⃣ The cable car journey is 20 minutes, with 3 options (standard, crystal, and panoramic cable cars), I suggest taking the crystal cable car up the mountain and the panoramic cable car down. If you don't plan to take the sunset sightseeing bus, you can also choose the 17:00 cable car to watch the sunset. 3⃣ Purchase tickets 3 days in advance, make a reservation 1 day in advance, and exchange for a paper ticket on-site to take the cable car up the mountain. Be sure to confirm ticket information with the staff on-site to avoid queuing in the wrong line and wasting time. For the sightseeing car, there is no need to exchange for a paper ticket, just show the QR code to board. If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to tell me in the comments!

The Big Buddha, or Giant Buddha located on Pnong Ping island in Lantau Island district, is one of the best places I’ve ever been to. The entire trip to get to the Buddha is worth it, whether you are traveling via the 360 degree view gondola, or via bus, you will enjoy the trip going there. (I strongly recommend the gondola glass ride there and back though!) The views getting to Pnong Ping is just magical from the gondola. You can even spot the Big Buddha from it. You will also spot the ocean and mini rock islands on the right. There are lovely places to eat and indulge in authentic cuisine, I chose the Indian restaurant as it was popular with many foreign and local people. The food was absolutely delicious, a perfect 10/10 🤩 After going up the staircase to the Buddha itself, you can snap some gorgeous pictures with your travel buddies and get those amazing selfies! When you’re done, make sure to head down to the Monastery with the most beautiful architectural details and the famous Ten thousand Buddha Temple located at the end. A guaranteed peaceful and beautiful sensation that you will experience. An amazing khoi fish pond that is shaped in a Khoi fish will also leave you in awe. There are also lots of souvenir stores for you to purchase a little trinket or two, and some pure silver stores that has gorgeous jewelry that will make you want to spend most of your money on! You can also contribute to the maintenance of the Buddha by donating in the boxes that are situated in the Buddha itself and at the monastery. Take the family along, because this trip will be enjoyed by everyone, guaranteed! 😊👌#historicallandmarks #hongkongtrip #mytravelhacks #trip #familytrip #localguides

#hongkongtrip After taking the cable car up to Tian Tan, we walked through a delightful village filled with quaint souvenir shops & eateries, before ascending the 268 steps up towards the Big Buddha. Once at the top, the views are unrivaled; simply stunning and you truly can't gauge the size of the buddha until you're up close! It's well worth visiting the Po Lin Monastery upon your descent, to feel peace & discover the history of the Buddha.

#hongkongtrip For Buddhists and non-Buddhists, a trip to the Big Buddha Statue (Tian Tan Buddha) is a must when you are at Tung Chung. It’s located near Ngong Ping Village up the hills. You can take the land transport (bus or car) or by air (cable car). As the impending typhoon “delayed” its arrival into the island, we were very lucky that it wasn’t a rainy day nor was it too hot. Also it wasn’t very crowded and we had a leisurely climb up to the peak for close up pictures with the Buddha. It is cooler with the breeze coming in from the sea. We also toured the inside of the temple and paid our respect to Anita Mui’s tablet. Po Lam Monastery is nearby and a few steps away once you decent from the climb. They serve very good vegetarian food. #hongkong #tiantanbuddha #bigbuddha #ngongping

I haven't visited the Tian Tan Buddha for many years, and this visit was full of surprises and joy. The open space below the Big Buddha is planted with lotus flowers and lotus leaves of different sizes and colors. From the steps leading to the Big Buddha to the plaque of Po Lin Monastery, there are a dazzling array of lotus flowers and lotus leaves that are nourished by large vats of clean water and rainwater. It is very elegant and romantic. 💟#HongKongGoodPlaces #WeekendGoodPlaces

I recommend Po Lin Temple for lunch. It tastes quite good! After eating you can also walk around the nearby weekend market, many characteristic little shops. The environment is also very quiet, you can go to the nearby Heart Sutra Simplified Forest to sit quietly for a while, observe your daily actions, when you gain something. #parents and children #local tours #nature wonders #travel #Hong Kong #TiantanBuddha #HongKongTiantanBuddha #Lantau #countrysidegoodplaces Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday (including public holidays) a.m. to 5:30 p.m Access: From the bus stop outside Tung Chung MTR Station, take Lantau Bus No. 23 to Ngong Ping Bus Terminal.

I went up to the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island again. This time the stairs of the Buddha have been fully repaired, and the overall look is newer and more beautiful than before 👍🏻. The weather was good that day. When we walked up the stairs to the Big Buddha, under the shadow of the sun ☀️, we felt as if the Buddha's light was appearing for the first time. After visiting the Big Buddha, you must of course go to the Heart Sutra Forest and the Po Lin Monastery. On the way back, we took a 360-degree bus to enjoy the night view of the airport 🌃, and spent a colorful 🌈 day. #Hong Kong good places#Local travel
