  The cars go up into the clouds/fog.
  We opted for the standard cabin (also note the senior rate is for HK residents only.. or at least that is what they told us)
  No real line.. but looks like it can get bad.

  Most of the rest of the ride was in the fog. Here we are approaching a tower.
  The stairs leading to the tower.
  It got very foggy and you could barely see the passing cars.

  The Big Buddha as we were arriving was partially covered in fog.
  Approaching the station.
  A map of shopping area in Ngong Ping. Also notice the free wi-fi is available to share pictures of your visit.

  At the top there were several smaller statues around the base
  The back side of the Buddha.
  

• Page Number: 37
  

  The view off the back side. The fog really limited you.
  Inside was a gift shop, prayer area, and some other rooms. No pictures were allowed in there.

  Working my way around to the front (I circled a couple of times on different levels with different lenses)
  

• Page Number: 39
  

  It was interesting you could hear a lot of dogs barking below, especially when the bells rung.
  

• Page Number: 40
  

• Page Number: 41
  

  You could go up one more level. Beyond that was a fee/tour.

  A line of people waiting to go up into the fog.
  The route we took
  It looked like it was starting to clear again.
  

• Page Number: 56
  

  Waiting to cross the streets. The cross walks all gave off a series of sounds to let you know how close to the light turning.
  After lunch it was back to Sunny Bay Station.

  People waiting for the Disneyland Line at this point in the day. It was around 1:20pm

  One last look. This would be our last ride on the MTR.
  Exited the gates then turned in our cards for a refund of the deposit and what was left on them before heading to the park (which will be in the next section).
