We woke up to the horror of toilet with no water to flush. Fortunately, the shower is still running. So, whoever needs a longer business will have to tolerate until a working toilet is in view.
After washing up, we are on the road in search of our breakfast (for a few of them, it's searching for the "ahem" ....). Decision made and we are back at 稻香 for dim sum. Comparing 稻香 and 美心, we prefer 稻香 and our breakfast costs almost half of what we paid for lunch yesterday at 美心.

Feeling satisfied, we set off to Tung Chung Station to catch our cable car ride to Lantau Island (大屿山).
**Tip: If you plan to take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, do book in advance online. This will save you a lot of queuing time and there is also discount. We were shocked to see the long queue when we arrived at the cable car station.
Choosing the crystal cabin was a perfect choice. Well, maybe not for some with acrophobia.
"Feel the magic of the boundless sea and the rolling grassland slopes right underneath your feet. The new perspective allows you to look at an extraordinary uncluttered scenery, as if you were flying." - Ngong Ping 360

When the cable car arrives at Lantau Island, you will first see the Ngong Ping Village. It is very commercialized and obviously it is built specially for tourists. A few attractions are available for sightseeing but we only focused on one - The Big Buddha. We can now check off another MUST VISIT spot on our To-Visit

Looking up at the Big Buddha from the foot of stairs, one can easily think of giving up and not climb the flight of 268 steps for a closer look. Encouraged by my brother and sister, we set foot on the first step and off we go to the top. Conclusion, the view from the top is definitely worth the climb.

To compensate for the energy used, we tried the famous 山水豆腐花. To be honest, I prefer the

A good 2 hours were spent in Citygate Outlets Mall before our stomach starts growling again. Dinner is at 翠华餐厅 in Hong Kong. Oh my goodness, the restaurant is so small and we need to squeeze ourselves through the whole meal. Although with a full stomach, we are all out to try the Milk Pudding from Milk Top as desserts from SOGO. It is really good!
