Where to buy tickets for Ngong Ping 360

You can buy your tickets online through their website or Klook and at the ticketing offices at Tung Chung and Ngong Ping Cable Car terminals.
If you decide to buy your tickets at the counter, just be prepared for the long queue ahead. You may be waiting for as long as 30 minutes to 1 hour.
I highly recommend getting your tickets from Klook. They offer discounted ticket prices and a hassle free booking. There is also a separate lane for Klook customers. Just save the voucher on your mobile phone or print a copy and proceed to the designated VIP Klook counter to get your tickets.

The Klook VIP counter is on the right, the queue on the Klook lane is much shorter compared to the regular ticketing counters.
