Quickest way from Victoria peak to Ngong Ping 360 and cable care ride.
by Jay
(USA)
We are arriving in Hong Kong International airport at 6:30 am and would like to see the Peak first and head out to Ngong Ping 360 and take the cable car ride. I wanted to take the star ferry also if feasible. I need to reach the airport from Ngong Ping by 8pm.
Please advice on the quickest and yet scenic route. I also wanted to get an idea of how much time each of these attractions would take. Thanks, Jay
Answer/Recommendations:Hello Jay,
Thank you for writing THKA. Here's the route we've prepared for you which is also based on your request.
From HK airport --> Take the airport express trains, 24 minutes trip to the city (
read for a detailed info here). --> Take the Peak Tram to the Victoria Peak or "The Peak" (you can have your breakfast up in the Peak while looking the spectacular views that the Peak has to offer). --> At about 10:00am, you should go back down thru the Peak Tram. --> Take a taxi to the Star Ferry terminal (Bus No. 15C is also an option but it takes some time). --> Take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui. Upon arrival, to your right is the Avenue of Stars - take some time in there also to see the Hong Kong Island in the opposite side (this is the place where to watch the Symphony of Lights during night time). --> Take MTR trains from Tsim Sha Tsui to Tung Chung MTR station (actually, Tsim Sha Tsui->Lai King->Tung Chung) a 39 minutes trip (HK$15.5).
From Tung Chung MTR Station, find exit B to the Ngong Ping 360 terminal for a 25 minutes cable car ride to Ngong Ping terminal at Lantau (
read detailed information and fine more attractions that Ngong Ping has to offer in here).
After exploring NP 360, take the cable car back to Tung Chung and then take a Lantau taxi (blue) to the HK airport from Ngong Ping 360's Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal for just around 10 minutes ride at a cost of around HK$30.
Good luck and enjoy your trip!
