Super friends conquers HK - Day 6

After breakfast, we went to Ate Karen work place. I never been to that side of HK because it's like the province side already. But I really like the area and the neighborhood. It's away from all the city noise. Then we pass the market, school and the bus terminal before we rode the MTR station to Ngong Ping 360.

Ngong ping 360 is a must when you are in HK. We rode the cable car bound to the Giant Buddha.
~ This cable car is bigger than the ones in Oceanpark. ~

This is why it's called Ngong Ping 360... because of the 360 breath taking view! I even saw the entire airport from there.

~ Going up... ~

Upon our destination, we pass the Ngong Ping Village where you can eat, dine, buy souvenirs, take picture and all but we had no time for that. We had to catch the 5pm cable car closing time. We had quite a long walk going to the Giant Buddha. Not to mention the 100-step stairs. whew!

~ Okay, one shot then off I goooo! ~

~ Finally, at the bottom of the Giant Buddha. ~

Again, the view was breath taking. Then inside this monument was a picture sized painting on the history of Buddha himself, a burial site, ancient scrolls (yes, just like in the movies) and a piece of Buddha's relic. Cameras are not allowed inside but we were able to took couple shots inside. See it *here*

On our way back, we were able to snag cheaper souvenirs along the local stores there. Then we were able to catch the 5pm last trip to Ngong Ping station via cable car. We were so dead hungry when we arrived at the station so we had to go inside the mall and eat. Buddha indeed blessed us that night because we found this Samsonite store where they sell Lacoste and it's on sale!

~ This is where I bought my lacoste bag. ~

TIPS: Sale items are actually inside the mall.
