Background – Is a China tourism project that consists of a gondola lift, Ngong Ping Village and an excessive amount of branding and marketing. The Gondola – The gondola started in 2006, is 5.7 kilometers long and runs between a suburb on Lantau Island called Tung Chun and the top of Ngong Ping Travel China . The gondola station is right next to the Tung Chun MTR station and makes getting to the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha very easy. The views from the gondola of the airport and surrounding islands are excellent. Ngong Ping Village – This is a retail and commercial center at the top of the gondola that is called a village for promotional purposes. It is meant to “…mirror and uphold the cultural and spiritual veracity of the Ngong Ping area.” but is so cheesy and embarrassing collection of shops and over priced restaurants. The only place in Ngong Ping village affordable china tours worth visiting is the toilets. More at ChinaTour.com like Tibet Tours
