Tai O Fishing Village
Located on the west coast of Lantau Island is a quaint and picturesque village with the traditional stilt houses predominant of the old Southern Chinese fishing villages, one of the few remaining places where you can still see them in Hong Kong. With its pretty setting on the coast framed by the mountains, and all the activity surrounding the harbour, the traditional seafood market, and the daily life in the stilt houses, it is definitely worth the trip.
Boat ride at Tai O Village, then transfer to Ngong Ping Village by coach (15-20 mins).  Visit Ngong Ping Piazza and Wisdom Path.
Ngong Ping Piazza
The Ngong Ping Piazza is the perfect place to start touring the culture and nature of Ngong Ping. As you arrive at the Piazza, you will be surrounded by Chinese structures that radiate antiquity, reflecting the northern architectural style of the Qing Dynasty.  The landscape garden of Ngong Ping Piazza is constructed to clone the design of Po Lin Monastery.

Wisdom Path
As you start walking down Wisdom Path, you will see giant wood columns on both sides. There are around 38 in number, and they resemble the symbol of infinity.  At the entrance, there’s a phoenix sculpture.  Adjacent to it, you will find a gateway to take you to the Lantau Sunrise point.
Tung Chung by Cable Car (standard)
The cable car connects downtown Tung Chung and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. The cable car is a first-of-its-kind in Hong Kong. The journey ends at Tung Chung where you will be greeted with the vistas of the distant and vast South China Sea and the rolling greens of North Lantau Country Park.  From the comfort of the cabin, enjoy the breathtaking panorama of Hong Kong International Airport and the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island, the Big Buddha, and the 360-degree view of Ngong Ping Plateau.
Lunch
Arrive at Tung Chung and transfer by coach to a modern and luxurious local restaurant for an international buffet style lunch
14:30 After lunch, board coaches and transfer back to Novotel Citygate Hotel, Regal Airport Hotel, Regala Skycity Hotel, and Skycity Marriott Hotel.  Coaches will stop at each hotel to let passengers disembark.
