From Tung Chung the cable car takes about 25 minutes, sailing over the sea, the airport runways and green ridges before landing on the Ngong Ping plateau. Take a glass-floored Crystal cabin and treetops slide by under your feet. Past the souvenir lane of Ngong Ping Village is Po Lin Monastery, and opposite it, at the top of 268 steps, sits the 34 m bronze Buddha. From the top of the stairs you see Lantau's ridges and the sea beyond it.
