Ngong Ping Cable Car Tung Chung Station — Attraction in Hong Kong

One thing I will say, unless you need to, I would avoid going on the weekend as lines are long and you will wait ages. I have been to Hong Kong many times and trust me, the one time I went on a Sunday, I turned back! On a Monday morning, I was on the cable car in under twenty minutes. There was a line, but it wasn't too long at all and it moved quickly. You can purchase a ticket in advance online or upon entering the cable car. Just to note, purchasing the ticket in advance does not make you have priority access and you still have to line up as normal (unless you purchase the Private Cabin ticket option). I got a Standard Cabin ticket. The other option is Crystal or you can do one way of Crystal and one way Standard. Just check online. I am not sure if the ticket is cheaper online. There was some sort of discount on the Monday, when I purchased my ticket upon entering. Well managed, the line moves reasonably quickly. The ride to Lantau Island is stunning. Takes around twenty-five minutes each way. The scenery is breathtaking. If you are afraid of heights, you may struggle a little. It really is a lovely and relaxing journey. When you get into the cable car, a professional photographer will take your photograph and if you want to purchase the photograph, you can do this at the other side. The cable car connects Tung Chung and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. The Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal is adjacent to Tung Chung MTR. Clearly signposted, you can't miss it. Literally a few minutes walk. You can also take the bus if you are on a budget. I would highly recommend if you can, to take...

Total Rating: 5 Star Cable Car

Wonderful cable car system! Although there were a few incidents when it opened (which resulted it into a new management company), I really loved the ride! The cars were big and had large glass windows and seating was comfortable and the whole ride was really smooth, no shakes at all. My friend and I wanted to stay on the car for 24 hours! There were no queues, from collecting the ticket to boarding and departing only took at most half a minute. Compared with the Ocean Park Cable Car, this one is way better. That Ocean Park one was really shaky, so shaky that it made me bounce up and down and the windows there were always open, here they were always closed, but there are air vents, which I am not really fond of (although it was really cool, I came in July).

The only thing I would suggest it to improve is to add air conditioning system, it would make the car cooler during the summer time, they can switch it off during the winter or turn on a heater.
