Ngong Ping 360

What people say, in short
Many visitors recommend Ngong Ping 360, and two praise the views, citing airport and bridge sightings from the cable car along with wide island vistas. One visitor with a toddler finds it doable if you go early and pre-book, and a couple of visitors suggest visiting in the morning. One caveat is queues: two visitors report long waits, and one says the upgraded crystal cabin is worth choosing, since it gets you into a much shorter line. One visitor who has never ridden it expects strong views but finds the place far removed from Hong Kong's identity.
