What travelers are saying
- Hstevens282Leven, UK353 contributionsThis is a “must do” in the city. And you must do it in the funicular tram that runs up the hill at an angle of about 45 degrees it seemed to me. It’s a great ride and there is a large complex of shops, amusements, restaurants and cafes to try. On a clear day the views over Hong Kong are spectacular. Unfortunately when we visited the hill was shrouded in mist. Still we enjoyed our trip and I would recommend it but I would definitely recommend you go up when it’s a clear, sunny day.Written March 2, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveling AmmoniteHeidelberg, Germany378 contributionsA fun park that tickled all the nostalgic notes. It's smaller than other Disney parks, but not very crowded, and while it didn't have a few of the classics (like Indiana Jones), it made up for it with rides like the Big Grizzly Mountain Rush. Mystic Manor is also a must for me, which is the HK version of Haunted Mansion.
A strange aspect of the park is that not every section opens at the same time. Like the overall park opened at 10, but Grizzly Gulch, etc., opened 30 minutes later, etc. It made it a little hard to plan ahead since no one could say which area opened at what time. I can't seem to find info on it online, so maybe it only applies to certain times of the year?
The World of Frozen is full and the lines there were the longest. FROZEN EVER AFTER was a fun boat ride similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, but skip Sliding Sleighs, because it's over an hour wait for like a 5-second ride, lol.
The Lion King show was very fun. If the other shows are like it in terms of quality, definitely check them out as well.
The parade by contrast was sad. It was also like two seconds long. I get they're trying their best, but for what Disney is earning and how much a Disneyland ticket costs, I cringe and feel insulted when they blame "budget cuts" like they will be shut down if they had normal parades.
All in all, standard park. It's fun, small, and not overly crowded, but for me doesn't quite have as much magic as the other 5 Disney parks I've visited.Written February 22, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Here are a few of my thoughts.
* Firstly in terms of getting here. It is located on Lantau island which is a fair distance from central Hong Kong. This is the island that contains the international airport as well as Disneyland. To get here you can take the yellow MTR line to Tung Chung. From here you have a few options. You can take the famous Ngong ping 360 cable car (Not recommended, has its own seperate tripadvisor listing), get a bus or take a taxi from Tung Chung to Ngong ping village. An alternative, and slightly adventurous option is to hike section 3 of the Lantau trail (Park Kung Au to Big Buddha) by getting a bus to Park Kung Au and then hiking along the well marked trail.
* The big Buddha and adjacent Po Lin monastery are located within a village called Ngong Ping. This village is essentially a commercial venture that appears to be set up to capture tourists - it has all the normal offerings of a tourist trap, including overpriced souvenirs and expensive poor quality restaurants.
* The big Buddha and the po Lin monastery are free to enter and this is a big plus.
* The big Buddha itself is an impressive structure, rising 23m off the ground. You can walk inside of it and see some exhibits which focus around its creation. The adjacent Po Lin Monastery has some interesting temples which are also well worth a visit.
* The Big Buddha itself however was only built in 1993 so doesn’t really have much history behind it. I kind of feel like it was custom built to serve as a tourist attraction. As such, to me, it lacked some degree of cultural significance and meaning.
* This whole area is a well visited tourist attraction and this really detracted from our experience. Overall I personally felt this was one of the lesser interesting tourist attractions within Hong Kong and I feel if you are pressed for time on your Hong Kong itinerary you could probably give this day trip a miss. It’s also problematic as it will take a whole day to visit here when you include travel times.Written February 24, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael ULas Vegas, NV49,081 contributionsPandas and sharks and roller coasters and bumper cars and owls and an epic sky ride and old signs and offal oh my....no one thing is the "best of its kind" but when all combined at a fair price with easy access via MTR Ocean Park is definitely worth a half-day visit.Written February 1, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter HLondon, UK11 contributionsBeautiful Chinese Garden. A haven of beauty and tranquility in a busy part of the City. This is probably my favourite place in HK.

- Adventure557324870281 contributionThe experience was great, and I saw many things. However, it is best to come early since there will be a long line for the cable car to descend (at least 30 minutes). Despite this, the staff is very attentive and kind, and they even handed out food, warm water, and heating pads for free since it was winter.Written December 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The beautiful skyline and lights of the buildings at the Victoria Harbour are spectacular.
A unique view not found in elsewhere.Written March 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is a good option if you are in transit and have some time to kill, as it is close to the airport. The cable car is the best way to reach Lantau Island. Easily accessible from Tung Chung MTR. Lantau Island has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking trails, nature and more. There is also the historic Tai O fishing village which is like stepping back in time. You can get around the island by bus. If you are short on time, then I would suggest doing the highlights which is the Tian Tan Buddha statue and Po Lin Monastery. Always go early if you can, as it is quieter in the morning and you can do more.Written December 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abovetheclouds2,528 contributionsI really enjoyed the energy early on a Sunday evening. Bustling, noisy, neon lights, shopping, food and more. This is Hong Kong. A little rough around the edges but safe. I was a solo female traveller. Like stepping into the old and new. The area seemed to smell like pee everywhere! Not sure why, but worth a trip.Written November 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DrBDManchester, UK32 contributionsDefinitely worth trip. Good value . We should have booked ahead as queue at place but queue went quick. Queue bit disorganised and usual Hong Kong ‘push-and-shove’ mentality to cope with.The ride is quite short with limited views. Worth paying for sky view extra. Lots of shops and cafes at top with a square to walk around just outside. Views are spectacular and give even more sense of awe of Hong Kong estate.
