Ngong Ping 360
The Ngong Ping 360 consists of the Ngong Ping Cable Car, a gondola lift formerly known as the Ngong Ping 360 Skyrail, and the Ngong Ping Village, a retail and entertainment centre adjacent to the cable car's upper station. Close to the Hong Kong International Airport and only a few minutes' walk from Tung Chung MTR Station, Ngong Ping 360 is one of the must see attractions in Hong Kong travel. The Tourism Commission declared the objective of the project was to increase the range of attractions to visitors to enhance Hong Kong's position as a leading tourist destination in the region. The Ngong Ping Cable Car ride is a visually spectacular 5.7km journey, the longest bi-cable ropeway in Asia. Between the two terminals at Tung Chung and Ngong Ping, the lift system runs across the southern shore of the Hong Kong International Airport Island and Nei Lak Shan, with eight towers including the stations. In order to minimize the impact on environment, helicopters and mules were used to transport over 12,000 tons of material in conjunction with Ngong Ping 360's construction.
