Many people's impression of Hong Kong is the noisy and spectacular urban jungle landscape. They may not know that there is such a place in Hong Kong, where there is the world's largest outdoor bronze sitting Buddha, a quiet and comfortable fishing village, lush trees, religion, humanities and natural scenery. Yes, it's Lantau Island, the largest island in Hong Kong. Here, I also send you a super comprehensive strategy of eating, drinking and having fun. I'll make an appointment right away at the weekend.
What are the scenic spots on Lantau Island?

The longest double ropeway cable car in Asia overlooks Lantau Island, the largest island in Hong Kong, enjoys the world's largest outdoor bronze sitting Buddha, and takes a look at the world's longest cross-sea bridge-Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which truly spans mountains and seas!

The earliest fishing village in Hong Kong still retains its quaint appearance, simple and quiet, and has a unique cabin on the water, which is known as "Venice of Hong Kong". You can also enjoy the charm of Chinese white dolphins by yacht!
Scenic spot map
There are six land ports across Hong Kong in Shenzhen, and the most convenient ports are Futian and Luohu. After customs clearance, you can take the subway directly to Tung Chung, and Tung Chung will walk a few hundred meters to the entrance of Ngong Ping 360 cable car.
On the map of Lantau Island, the suggested itinerary is on the right, and I followed it.
The cable car to the top of the mountain is Ngong Ping Market, and it is quite convenient to walk 10 minutes to the farthest paradise Buddha.
Be sure to go to Tai 'ao Water Town. You can get there by bus No.21at Ngong Ping Market, which takes about 30 minutes. Pay attention to the time to return to the bus. The latest bus is usually 16:45, and it is 17:45 on Saturday and Sunday.
Tai O fishing village can follow the signs on the map. 1-5 is a special food in Tai O. It tastes good in person. I suggest you try.
The speedboat in Tai O must be experienced. Super exciting. 30 Hong Kong dollars is not expensive. Here are some things worth paying attention to. Very distinctive!

One is that you can only enter and leave Hong Kong once within the specified time, and the other is that you can enter and leave Hong Kong twice within the specified time. You can get it at the entry-exit office where your account is located in about half a month. Choose one entry and exit when applying, that is, one opportunity to enter and leave Hong Kong within one year and stay in Hong Kong for seven days.
2. If you already have a Hong Kong and Macao pass and want to go to Hong Kong and Macao again, you can go directly to the self-service machine with the original pass for the second time. It is very convenient to handle it on the same day and collect evidence on the same day.

You can go to the bank to exchange Hong Kong dollars, and the exchange rate will be better. If the amount is small and troublesome, it can be exchanged at the port, and the exchange rate is slightly higher. Change it when you go back to the mainland. It's simple and rude.

About Lantau cuisine
Ngong Ping Market has pasta, Japanese cuisine and Hong Kong-style restaurants to choose from, and snacks such as big fish eggs, almond cakes, shrimp and pig cakes, sand lions and coffee in Tai O fishing village should not be missed.
