Things to do in Ngong Ping

Located on Lantau Island near Discovery Bay, Hong Kong Disneyland® consists of several themed areas and attracts millions of visitors each year. It’s smaller in comparison to the other Disney parks, but families with young children can spend a very enjoyable day here.

Ocean Park is Hong Kong’s biggest theme park. The park has exhibitions of rare animal species and a dolphin breeding centre alongside more than 20 different rides and rollercoasters.

The unveiling of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre expansion was a much-anticipated highlight of the 1997 Handover, with global rulers and celebrities attending grandiose parties within the monstrous structure. In 1898, China agreed to a 99-year lease by the Brits of Hong Kong Island, surrounding islands and the New Territories of southern China. On July 1, 1997, the lease ended, the British governor and British Royal Navy left their posts and Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of China in a giant celebration, with the Convention Centre at its heart.

The Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is among the main ports in the territory. Come here for a boat trip to the picturesque territory of Macau, a former Portuguese colony on China’s southern coast.

Victoria Harbour is one of the world’s great harbors, providing a breathtaking setting between incredible skylines of the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island. This waterway is one of the world’s great seaports and offers a shoreline filled with cultural, shopping, dining and recreational attractions.

Moving between the north coast and the hilly area of Ngong Ping, the island is home to several tourist attractions. At Ngong Ping, you’ll find the famous Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, which have long been two of the city’s top tourist attractions.

Now neither remote nor hidden, today Po Lin Monastery is an important centre for Buddhism and one of Hong Kong’s favourite tourist locations, visited by hundreds of thousands of people every year.
