If you go to HK especially with kids, do plan a trip to lantau island. The cable car ride was great fun and the view from the top with the Buddha statue was breathtaking

The ferry over to Lantau is very nice and highly recommended! Took around 1 hour. The Biddha is awesome and well worth a visit, and the little village is very nice. The Crystal Cabin down is such a cool experience as well!

if you want to go here, please go early in the morning before 4.30pm. I love taking the bus up rather than the cable car

Lantau Island is the home of the airport, apartments, a fishing village and the great Bhudda. You can get to the Bhudda by boat and bus (Lantau Ferry and Bus 2 at the Ferry stop, about an hour) or on the underground and cable car, less time but not sure how long. The giant Bhudda is venerated by many at... More

Temples and monasteries are fairly commonplace in Asia, so a visit to Lantau Island initially ranked pretty low on my "to do" list. Boy, was I wrong.
