Once done with the tour around Ngong Ping, I headed back to the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminal to start my journey into Hong Kong Island proper. As I had already bought my discounted return ticket on KLOOK, I needn’t be further adventurous to find a bus back down to Tung Chung from Ngong Ping.
