From the charming shops of Ngong Ping Village, a short walk leads you to Ngong Ping Piazza—a cultural and spiritual square designed to honor Buddhist tradition while offering travelers a scenic stopover before reaching the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery.
Ngong Ping Village was the first attraction we visited during our Hong Kong trip — straight from the airport! Since we arrived early, I figured it was the perfect way to maximize our time. I’m always the one who prepares our itinerary, and I make sure that every minute counts — because let’s be honest, traveling isn’t free!

From all the tourist spots I’ve visited in Hong Kong, Nan
Lian Garden is the one I love the most.
It’s peaceful, serene, quiet, and utterly relaxing — like a magical forest
tucked away in the middle of towering skyscrapers. Every time someone asks me
about Hong Kong, I can’t help but show off the photos I took here while
excitedly talking about how I long to go back.
