Escape the city buzz of HONG KONG and spend a peaceful day exploring LANTAU ISLAND, where culture, spirituality, and old fishing traditions come together. This DAY TRIP takes you through some of Hong Kong’s most iconic and picturesque spots — from the towering TIAN TAN BUDDHA to the charming TAI O FISHING VILLAGE.
PO LIN MONESTARY – Step into one of Hong Kong’s most sacred Buddhist temples. Wander among incense-filled courtyards, ornate statues, and peaceful gardens surrounded by lush mountain scenery.
TIAN TAN “BIG BUDDHA” – Climb the 268 steps to see the majestic bronze Buddha up close. Standing over 34 meters tall, it’s one of the world’s largest seated Buddha statues — and offers breathtaking views across Lantau and the South China Sea.
TAI O FISHING VILLAGE – Experience the slower, traditional side of Hong Kong. Explore stilt houses above the water, sample local seafood and shrimp paste in the famous DRIED SEAFOOD MARKET, and take a boat ride through the village’s canals for a glimpse of pink dolphins if you’re lucky!
Take the scenic NGONG PING 360 CABLE CAR from TUNG CHUNG for panoramic views of mountains, ocean, and the Hong Kong Airport on your way up to the Big Buddha.
Whether you’re a culture lover, photographer, or day-trip explorer, Lantau Island offers a perfect mix of nature, heritage, and serenity — all just a short ride from downtown Hong Kong.
