Ngong Ping Skyrail is a visually spectacular 5.7km cable car journey, travelling between Tung Chung Town Centre and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island.

Guests will enjoy some of the best views in Hong Kong, as their cable car cabin glides over the South China Sea and North Lantau Country Park on an amazing 20-25 minute experience. Ever-changing panoramic views include the Hong Kong International Airport, verdant, mountainous terrain of Lantau Island and the Tian Tan Buddha Statue.

The cable car's route was carefully selected to provide minimal environmental impact on the precious North Lantau Country Park. There are two Angle Stations, which allow the ropeway to turn from Airport Island to Lantau Island, and eight towers.

If commencing your Ngong Ping Skyrail experience at Tung Chung, you will depart the terminal and glide across Tung Chung Bay to Airport Island, before the first Angle Station turns the ropeway back towards Lantau. From the comfort of your 17-person cable car cabin, you will enjoy amazing views of the Hong Kong International Airport and Tung Chung skyline.

Crossing back over the shores of Lantau Island, you enter the North Lantau Country Park; the vistas from the cable car dramatically change from the hustle and bustle of the city, to the serene and natural surrounds that Lantau is famed for.

As the cable car glides gently through the Country Park, you will be inspired and refreshed by the rolling grassland slopes, forested mountains and natural streams and waterfalls. You will come to understand why Lantau Island is also known as Hong Kong's 'green lung'.

Approaching the cable car's Ngong Ping Terminal and Ngong Ping Village, you will begin to catch your first glimpses of the mighty Tian Tan Buddha Statue. Constructed from 202 bronze pieces, the Tian Tan Buddha Statue weighs over 250 tonnes and soars 34 metres into the sky; it is a dominant landmark on the Ngong Ping Plateau.

Alighting from the cable car at Ngong Ping Terminal, you are a short stroll from Ngong Ping Village and its many attractions and retail, dining and entertainment experiences. You are also within walking distance of the Tian Tan Buddha Statue, which is only a five-minute stroll from the Village.

Ngong Ping Skyrail is a bi-cable ropeway; the first of its kind to be installed in Hong Kong. This type of ropeway system was selected as it allows long spans between towers, meaning less environmental impact. It was also chosen for its safety and reliability and will provide guests with a smooth and comfortable journey.

Ngong Ping Skyrail will have a total of 112 cabins, each capable of holding up to 17 passengers (10 seated, 7 standing); this creates a total carrying capacity of 3,500 passengers per hour in each direction. Ngong Ping Skyrail is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and incorporates assistance features to meet the needs of disabled passengers, including the elderly and those with wheelchairs.
