Made in Hong Kong Frank the tour guide is going to show you the frequently asked questions (FAQ) of travelers about Lantau Island in this post.

• How can I dodge the big crowds of Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car?
• Do I need to walk up the Big Buddha to see the great statue?
• When should I go to Tai O fishing village?
• Are the cattle and buffalos on Lantau Island dangerous?

Apart from the answers in this post, Frank the tour guide’s easy Lantau Island private tour is the best well-planned solution to help travelers to visit the Lantau Island easily.

How can I dodge the big crowds of Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car?

In the morning, travelers and locals gather at the Tung Chung Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminus to take the amazing cable car ride to go uphill.

 

So Tung Chung terminus becomes very crowded.

The waiting is long and annoying!

 

So it is important to dodge the crowds by using the alternative transportation to get to Ngong Ping and take the cable car to go downhill after sightseeing.

Frank the tour guide’s easy Hong Kong Lantau Island full day private tour service includes the one-way Lantau blue taxi ride.

 

Clients can take the blue taxi with permit to get to Ngong Ping and enjoy the nice view of South Lantau Island.

 

After saying goodbye to Big Buddha, clients take the cable car to leave Ngong Ping.

Clients can only see the big crowds when their cable car cabin approaches the Tung Chung Terminus at the end of the nice cable car ride.

After saving the valuable time, clients can enjoy the included dim sum lunch and visit Victoria Peak easily during the private tour in the afternoon.

5 Review: Frank was a wonderful guide. Our private day tour ran like clockwork from the moment we were collected directly from our hotel to the moment we were dropped off. We were amazed to find we were always going in the opposite direction from the crowds of tourists. No queuing, no waiting and our driver was always at the right place at the right time to collect us. Frank’s knowledge of all the subject matter was excellent as was his fluency in English. Altogether a delightful day and one we would recommend. (Browse private tour page)

Do I need to walk up the Big Buddha to see the great statue?

A lot of senior travelers and travelers with mobility issues ask: Do I need to walk the 268 steps to see the Big Buddha?

 

Actually even you don’t walk up the 268 steps, you can say hello to Big Buddha from the Ngong Ping Piazza.

You can see how big and how tall the Big Buddha is from the bottom.

 

Frank the tour guide’s Lantau Island private tour includes Lantau taxi ride.

The Lantau taxi can bring clients to the Ngong Ping Piazza near the Po Lin Monastery directly to begin the sightseeing.

 

So clients can walk less and save valuable time to see more.

When should I go to Tai O fishing village?

If you go to Tai O in the morning, you can only see the fishing village culture and heritage buildings.

 

Apart from the traditional stilt houses and old temples, you can see the nice sunset if you visit Tai O in the late afternoon.

 

So late afternoon around sunset is the best time for you to go to Tai O.

Frank the tour guide offers clients the late afternoon Lantau Island Tai O private tour to take Ngong Ping Cable Car, say hello Big Buddha and enjoy nice sunset easily.

The longer 7 hours private tour also includes local dinner and Symphony of Lights Laser Show.

Are the stray cattle and buffalos on Lantau Island dangerous?

There are stray cattle and buffalos on Lantau Island as farming has declined.

 

Although there are the rare “buffalo ramming people” accidents, the animals are mostly cute, friendly and quiet.

 

To keep the safety, travelers can follow the dos and don’ts when seeing the cattle and buffalos (For details, please browse Frank’s another post about Lantau Island’s cattle and buffalos).

 

Frank the tour guide’s Lantau Island New Territories full day private tour includes the Lantau taxi ride to bring clients to go to Ngong Ping to see the Big Buddha.

In the morning, the Lantau taxi ride may become clients’ safari on the southern part of Lantau Island as clients may see the cattle and buffalos outside the taxi.

 

In the afternoon, clients can take private car to do another safari at Kam Shan Country Park and Kowloon Reservoir to see the lovely and naughty monkeys.
