Ngong Ping

From our hotel in the Yau Ma Tei (油麻地) vicinity, we took the MTR from Jordan station to Tung Chung (東涌) station.

Cute cartoon on the MTR train doors to remind passengers to "mind the gap".

Then, we joined the super long queue to board the bus that will take us up the mountain to Ngong Ping (昂坪).

We're almost reaching the top!

After coming down the hill from the Big Buddha, we walked over to Ngong Ping Village for our lunch break and to hide from the hot summer weather.

Wishing for good things in life

While we took the bus up the mountain, we took the cable car back down to Tung Chung.

It's a long way down the mountain and over the sea.
