Ngong Ping 360
Hong Kong's surprise entry: the Ngong Ping 360 sails nearly six kilometres across water and jungled ridgeline on Lantau Island, with the airport's planes rising below and the Tian Tan Big Buddha slowly revealing itself on its lotus throne ahead.

About this place
Pay the modest premium for a Crystal cabin's glass floor. At the top, the Buddha, Po Lin Monastery and a proper vegetarian lunch await. Go on a weekday morning; weekend queues are formidable.
