If you are looking for something to complete your Hong Kong attractions list, you should definitely enjoy some of the stunning views offered on this joyful 25-minute ride: the vistas of the distant and vast South China Sea and the rolling grassland slopes of North Lantau Country Park from the cable car slowly take over from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Amazing experience! The mixture of nature reflects the beauty of Hong Kong. You can see the green mountains with waterfalls, hiking trails and stairs in between, the sea and river, the beautiful buildings and the market. What makes it even more special, is The Big Buddha statue that is on top of the mountain! Unfortunately we missed the boat and dolphins’ experience since we arrived to the site very late (15:00) and it closes at (18:00). I highly recommend this adventure as a full day activity.

Brilliant option for skipping the line. Better than purchasing through other online sites as there is a separate line for them which is huge and they have to wait for ages. Even better if you chose the crystal option as you skip the lines even further. The difference in price between crystal and standard is nominal so go crystal. Don't bother with the meal voucher as you are limited to the places you can eat, and furthermore are limited to specific menu items you can select from.

it was an exhilarating experience from the easy interactive process of booking as well as enjoying the actual trip with the cable car. The atmosphere at the destination was so peaceful and relaxing. A must for travelers.

Nice landscaping view and very exciting journey above the mountains and sea. For more than 20 minutes, an outstanding experience. I do recommend to try Crystal cabinets for more exciting journey.

The view is breathtaking. Be aware that at busy times there is a queue but is worth the wait.
