The closest attraction to Hong Kong Airport is Big Buddha
Normally a lot of layover travelers want to take the chance to go sightseeing when they have the Hong Kong layover.

Layover travelers should take the chance to see Hong Kong. Traveler with luggage photo source: <a href=’https://www.freepik.com/photos/people’>People photo created by senivpetro – www.freepik.com</a>
As they are not familiar with Hong Kong, they may just want to visit the highlight near the Hong Kong Airport when they tour it yourselves (TIY).
So layover travelers’ frequently asked question (FAQ) in the emails to Frank the tour guide is: What is the closest attraction to Hong Kong Airport?
Made in Hong Kong Frank the tour guide’s answer is Big Buddha!

The closest attraction to Hong Kong Airport is Big Buddha
Big Buddha is at the hilltop at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island.
Lantau Island is right next to the airport island, Chek Lap Kok.

See Hong Kong Airport from Ngong Ping Cable Car
Most of the layover travelers have no time and energy to spend one day to walk up to the Big Buddha.
Most online travel guides recommend the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride to layover travelers to go to Ngong Ping.

You can see the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge during the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride.
However, the online information cannot help the layover travelers to solve the biggest trouble, long queue and big crowds at the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminus.

Frank’s easy Lantau Island half day private tour can help layover clients to dodge the crowds.

Frank’s response: Thank you for your five stars rating again, Luke! Using Lantau taxi to go up to the Big Buddha and take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car to downhill is the best way to visit the Lantau Island. So the 4-hour Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour helps you to dodge the big crowds and offers you the panoramic scenic view of Lantau Island. (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour) |
So layover clients can say hello to Big Buddha, visit Po Lin Monastery and take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride easily.

If layover travelers have the longer stopover in Hong Kong, they can actually go further afield.
Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island with good Victoria Harbor view and Kam Shan Country Park in the New Territories with nice natural landscape and funny monkeys are well worth a visit.

However that is time consuming for layover travelers to take the Airport Express train and the MTR to go to those sightseeing points.
