Taking the cable car makes the ride a highlight in itself, but service can change due to maintenance or weather. On a tight schedule, check the official service updates first.

Useful tips
- There are stairs, so on hot days bring water and sun protection.
- If the cable car is under maintenance, bus travel time may increase.
- When planning, it's easy to bundle the cable car, Po Lin Monastery, and the Buddha steps together. Because the official guide places the statue on the mountain in front of Po Lin Monastery, allow separate time for walking.
- In hot weather, leave time to rest before and after the stairs, and check Ngong Ping 360's official notices as cable car service may change.
