今天往東涌乘搭昂平360吊車往天壇大佛一行。可能天氣不太穩定,以至沒有太多人前往,只須等候二十多分鐘就可登車了。全程是25分鐘左右,沿途有很美麗的風景,包括可腑覽整個香港機場,與及東涌市鎮,也可遠眺屯門。吊車雖然曾有過好幾次停駛,但係感覺上又算幾穩陣,比我想像中安全。差不多到達昂平時,還可遠看聳坐著山上的大佛的氣勢。下車後往大佛方向去,踏上二百多級的石階,在宏偉的大佛腳下,驟然變得很渺小。很快地閒逛過車站旁的市集便回程了,晚飯在東涌的諾富東酒店自助餐,有很多美味的食品及精緻的甜點,很抵吃,才$178一位。

I paid a visit to the giant buddha by taking the Nong Ping 360 (crane). Perhaps the weather was not stable these few days, less people were going to visit so we have not spent much time to queue up. The crane time up to the hill is 25 minutes. Along the way, we have a good scene on the Airport and Tung Chung city. Although the NP360 has had several times suspension of services, I felt the crane are stable and safe at all. After arrival, we walked up to the giant buddha through the 268 stairs. Under the giant, we'are significantly small. We walked through the market besides the station and took the NP360 down to Tung chung for the buffet dinner at Novetel Hotel. It's costly for such much food and delicious disserts, $178 per person.
