(Upbeat Japanese music)
- Today we're taking a day trip to Lantau Island
to see the giant Buddha, and so much more.
Okay, so it's time to hop on the cable car and head up
to Ngong Ping.
^ The cable car moves at about 5 meters per second.
And still, it takes about 20 minutes to get
from the bottom to the top.
And the entire way you have these breath taking views
of the mountains and the water all around you.
But for something a little extra,
you can hop in the crystal cabin,
which has a glass floor.
Wow.
Here on Lantau Island, you'll find the Tian Tan Buddha
otherwise known as the big, or giant Buddha.
It's a quick 260 stairs.
That was quite the climb, but it's worth it.
The view here is so beautiful.
Just 15 minutes away from the big Buddha is Tai-O
a traditional fishing village here on Lantau Island.
I'm really intrigued by all these houses because
they're up on stilts and every house is different.
There's little restaurants and whatnot.
It's just a very unique community.
With all there is to do on Lanau Island,
I'm really glad I took a few moments just to stop
and this tea ceremony because it's unlike
any other tea ceremony I've experienced.
For an extra perk, grab some snacks
and enjoy them as you stroll through
and take in the ambience of this fishing village.
To die for.
From the Ngong Ping cable car to the Tai-O Fishing Village,
and Tian Tan Buddha, Lantau Island really is
a special part of Hong Kong.
