Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 479 reviews

Amazing experience! The mixture of nature reflects the beauty of Hong Kong. You can see the green mountains with waterfalls, hiking trails and stairs in between, the sea and river, the beautiful buildings and the market. What makes it even more special, is The Big Buddha statue that is on top of the mountain! Unfortunately we missed the boat and dolphins’ experience since we arrived to the site very late (15:00) and it closes at (18:00). I highly recommend this adventure as a full day activity.
