We are crossing over the sea
Looks a bit scary, doesn't it?
Nothing to worry about
I heard a snap sound
(Hong Kong Lunch)
Hello, how far have you been in Hong Kong?
The place we are at now is
- called Tung Chung in Hong Kong - Yes
It's located at the very eastern end
That's right, and it's also close to the airport
And the reason this area is famous is
because there's a cable car here
Many people come here to ride it
Actually, it's super close to the subway station
The signs are well placed
As soon as you come out of the station,
you walk straight for about 3 minutes,
and you'll reach the boarding point
Yeah, and that's Tung Chung..
subway station
Just keep walking straight
(going to ride the cable car)
You can buy tickets right away
And everyone
If you pre-purchase
through Klook
You don't have to wait to buy them
You can enter with a QR code
There are two price options
Standard
Which doesn't have see-through flooring
Crystal, which has see-through flooring
We're going with the see-through flooring one
(received ticket and map)
The Crystal Plus
has glass on the sides too
It's all glass 360 degrees
Oh, right
- This was the most expensive one - It's too expensive
Yeah, yeah, that was the expensive one
There's a bit of a wait time
Yes you should expect to wait
for about 20 to 30 minutes
One Standard
and one Crystal
I think that's how they operate
Yes, that's right
The downside is you have to ride with others
Visit on weekdays
(Our turn)
Wow, I can see below
(scoffing laugh)
It's really scary, honestly
Wow, we can see the sea right away
It's completely the sea below right now
Amazing
Running Man filmed an episode
right here
Oh, really?
They looked down there
looking for every letters
and had to solve a riddle
About 10 years ago
It's an episode from 10 years ago, everyone
But for a cable car, this one is quite fast
- Yeah - It's quite fast
The view below is really fascinating
Another fascinating point is
It's kind of...
crossing the sea, mountains, and the airport
- Yeah, right - It has that unique feature
It opened about in 2006
Around 20 years ago
- It's been quite a while - Yes
Interestingly, I haven’t seen a single Hong Kong person yet
It's my second time riding this
We also rode it once a few years ago
In my lifetime..
It's my third time
(clear sky)
But the weather is so nice, it's great
Right
We're crossing the sea, everyone
Looking at other people's photos
they lay down and take pictures here
I don't think it's possible
Can you do it?
Yeah, it's nothing for me
I can even jump
There was a snap sound
That's dangerous
It has to be safe
Now we're crossing the sea and going over the mountain
Right
This is beautiful
Looking from below to above like this
(crossing the mountain)
It looks boring already
Should we get off now?
There are about 10 minutes left
But it definitely feels much better than the last time we took the Standard
You can see from here too
Since the bottom is a little open
I feel a little less stuffy
Yeah, it's a bit better
The bridge in the distance
connects Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai
and it's the longest bridge
You can see all sorts of things from here
Next to it is Hong Kong's famous
- which appears with a giant Buddha - That's right
(getting off)
This place is actually about 5.7km long
So it's quite long
The first 10 minutes are a bit fun
But the last 15 minutes are just
somewhat similar so...
Those are some disadvantages
Still, where else can you find a 25-minute cable car ride?
Right, it's rare to take something this long
It's worth trying at least once
It would be a good experience if you come to Hong Kong
This town was built by a single company
that constructed the cable car
Since it targets tourists
it’s packed with lots of food spots
souvenir shops
and tons of things
to enjoy here
Right in front is Big Buddha
Wow, it's really big
The largest
sitting Buddha statue in the world
(overwhelming)
It's definitely big though
As you walk all the way through
there is a temple
And in front of the temple
you can see a path like this that leads to Big Buddha
(final challenge)
But when do we go up the stairs?
There are so many
Here, 34 stories
Oh, the height?
Ah, yes, I'm sorry right now..
Here, 34 meters?
Ah, that
Buddha?
Yes, the Buddha is
But there seem to be quite a few stairs as well
268
Let's go
to exercise
(leg exercise)
(silent meditation)
It's getting bigger and bigger
Up close, it's really big
It seems even more amazing up close
How did they build something this big up here?
It's awesome
It's really amazing
It couldn't have been easy
They say the Buddha is 34 meters tall
And it was completed in '93
So it's already been over 30 years since it was made
I really think it's amazing
So far, we've taken the cable car
and seen the Big Buddha of Hong Kong
How far have you been in Hong Kong so far?
Bye-bye
