Meet your guide at your hotel and drive to Lantau Island. Drive along Tsing Ma Bridge as you enjoy good views along the way to Lantau Island. Visit the Po Lin Monastery, one of Hong Kong's principal centers of Buddhism. It boasts the world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue on the mountain peak.
Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to have a dramatic view of the Big Buddha. Visit Ngong Ping Market, and enjoy a vegetarian lunch (at your own expense) at the monastery, which is famous for providing high quality Buddhist vegetarian cuisine in Hong Kong.
Continue to Tai O Fishing Village, where the traditional life on water is well-preserved. It's a little village with many houses built on stilts over the water.
