Ngong Ping Village

What people say

"This town may look a bit like a touristy spot (because it actually is), but it is still definitely worth a visit in my opinion as it offers great photos opportunities with the picturesque village and the surrounding mountains / Big Buddha in the background. Our pro tip: Don't fall for all the touristy restaurants in the village's main alley! We highly recommend you eat at the Po Lin Monastery vegetarian restaurant instead (we'll explain why later). "
"Mostly for souvenir shopping and photos, though I would hold off on any souvenir buying unless it is very unique or particular to Ngong Ping as the prices are quite high for some items. Food is also at a premium here."
"- Adore the traditional Chinese architectural elements - Don't forget to take instagram-worthy eight blessing drums and the Bodhi tree! - Take your time to visit shops with an enticing range of Chinese arts & crafts "
