Lantau Island is a popular out-of-the-way spot that’s almost twice as big as Hong Kong Island. Start your trip by taking the Ngong Ping cable car ride, which gives you a stunning 360-degree view of South China Sea, Hong Kong Airport, and the Macao Bridge. After that, make sure to check out the famous Po Lin Monastery (home to one of the tallest seated Buddha statues in Hong Kong) and the “Tian Tan Buddha Statue”, which symbolizes the connection between people and nature. Finally, head to the historical Tai O Fishing Village in the afternoon, where you can explore the stilt-roofed homes, delicious seafood, and the rich Ming dynasty history.
