Tung Chung
As soon as your cabin leaves the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal, you will be treated with the aerial view of the well- developed new town called Tung Chung which is part of the new development of Lantau North. Located in northern Lantau and formerly known as "Tung Sai Chung", Tung Chung boasts a history of over a thousand years. It is one of the important passages to Hong Kong because of its proximity to the Hong Kong International Airport.

Tung Chung Bay
Looking down from your cable car, you will next see Tung Chung Bay, an amazing natural habitat for wildlife and a popular destination for fishing and clam digging. The bay is also home to the Shan Tau wetlands, which is listed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The unique combination of wetland with seagrass is rarely seen in Hong Kong.

From the cable car cabin, you can see the entire Hong Kong International Airport from mid-air. You may even be “flying” with passing-by aircrafts!

It is one of the largest airports in the world in terms of passenger volume, and the proud winner of the world’s best airport award more than 60 times.
