DISCOVER THE CITY BY METRO
City culture or Lantau: choose today’s direction.
Use Hong Kong Station and West Kowloon for a city outing, or continue to Tung Chung for the cable-car connection. Treat them as separate plans.
One line. Many sides of the city.
The Tung Chung Line serves Hong Kong, Kowloon, Tsing Yi, Sunny Bay and Tung Chung. It is not Airport Express; reaching the airport needs a suitable connection.

Plan the onward leg to Lantau
Take the cable car from Tung Chung towards Ngong Ping. The Big Buddha requires onward cable-car or other transport.
Tung Chung is the starting point for the Ngong Ping 360 connection, not the entrance to the Big Buddha or Po Lin Monastery. Check cable-car operations and the return journey.

BEFORE YOU GO
A little planning goes a long way.
Check opening and admission
Venues, gardens and events have their own opening and ticket arrangements. Visit durations are editorial estimates, not opening hours or train times; choose only the stops that interest you.
