Hong Kong Trip: Hong Kong Day 4 (Part 3)

After the boat ride, we decided that it's about time we go to Ngong Ping to see the Big Buddha. Disneyland allows people to go out of the theme park and come back within the day. We had planned the day earlier to go both Disneyland and Big Buddha on the same day as they are both in Lantau Island and only 3 MTR stops apart.

We walked around in Disneyland for a short while before leaving and we would be coming back at night for the fireworks display.

Check out the Mickey Mouse ice-cream (bought by Shiqi)

Winnie the Pooh!

While walking towards the exit along Main Street, there were many floats and a huge crowd had gathered to see the gigantic floats at the big area near the entrance.

Reminder of Chingay?

They had to thank us because the ticket prices are expensive! Ha.....


Even the MTR station is Disneylike


The spanking new MTR train which only serves Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort station

We reached Tung Chung Station at around 4.30 pm and were not sure how to get to the Big Buddha from there. After asking around, we got to the cable car station adjacent to the MTR and time was ticking away as we waited in the queue to purchase tickets to go up to Ngong Ping where Tian Tan Buddha is located. It is the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha.

We were worried that it will be dark by the time we reach there and it would be a wasted trip if we buy the cable car tickets. Anyway, we decided to proceed since we were already there. We rushed to take the cable car after buying the tickets and luckily, the queue was very short.

Opps, can't see much of the sun already
