Ngong Ping Village

Ngong Ping Village is a theme village on a plateau of Lantau Island featuring traditional wooden structures, tea houses, and restaurants spread across the site. The facilities are organized around a central area that combines shopping and dining options with viewpoints.

The village was developed as a major project that included a cable car system to make Lantau Island more accessible to travelers. This connection to the mainland has helped it grow into a popular daytrip destination.

The place reflects Buddhist values through its design and layout. Visitors experience traditional Chinese architecture that blends into the natural mountain setting and creates a contemplative environment.

The location is reachable by cable car or bus from the lower part of the island, making it relatively easy to get there. The best time to visit is in the morning or early afternoon when it is less crowded.

A special feature visitors often discover while exploring the grounds is a collection of wooden pillars inscribed with Buddhist texts. This installation provides a quiet retreat in the midst of the commercial activity around it.
