🏯 How to Get to Ngong Ping Village in Hong Kong (Cable Car, Taxi, or Bus)

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!

If you’re planning to visit Ngong Ping Village as soon as you land in Hong Kong, here’s a detailed guide on how to get there.

🎟️ Cable Car Tickets & Klook Tip:

We booked our cable car tickets via Klook for a discounted price. While it meant waiting a bit longer to claim the actual tickets, the savings were worth it.

The ride itself takes around 19 minutes—a scenic, breathtaking (and slightly scary!) ride through the skies of Lantau Island.
