We enjoyed the experience at Ngong Ping and the Large Buddha, and the scenery. However, even though we bought our tickets in advance we had to wait another hour plus, to exchange them to be able to ride the gondola. We rode the crystal gondola up and the standard one down. The crystal one is fun with a glass sides and floor. Only having the standard one down was not a bad deal, except that there was a huge hot line to stand in, as opposed to the crystal line, to board the gondolas.

    Was just ok. Ngong Ping itself is decent (well the big Buddha is) but apart from that it's just an ok attraction.
