Tips & Tricks from Real Parents

1

Book the Crystal Cabin (glass floor) online in advance — standard cabins have shorter lines but the glass floor is worth it for the photos.

2

Combine with Hong Kong Disneyland for a full Lantau Island day — they're on the same island and 15 minutes apart by taxi.

3

The Ngong Ping Village has a decent 360-degree cinema show about Lantau. Kids enjoy it and it's a good rest stop.

4

Climbing the 268 steps to the Buddha is a workout for little legs. Bring water and take breaks.

5

Go on a clear day. The cable car is cancelled in heavy fog and the view is the whole point.

A Real Parent's Story

The glass floor made us feel like superheroes

Our twins (age 6) spent the entire cable car ride lying on the glass floor, giggling and pointing at the trees below. My wife held my hand and said 'This is the best decision we made.' She was right.

Read full story

The Ngong Ping 360 cable car is genuinely spectacular — 25 minutes over mountains and ocean. The Buddha statue at the top is impressive, but the journey there is the real magic for kids. The Po Lin Monastery has a vegetarian restaurant that's surprisingly kid-friendly with noodles and dim sum.
