Ngong Ping Village, with its iconic Tea House, will complement the Ngong Ping Skyrail and existing attractions at Ngong Ping.

Providing a wide range of interesting experiences for visitors, integrated elements of Ngong Ping Village will form a showcase for tourist attractions and includes the Ngong Ping Tea House, Walking with Buddha and the Monkey's Tale Theatre.

Walking with Buddha is an immersive, multimedia attraction allowing guests to follow the life of Siddhartha Gautama - the man who became Buddha - and his path to enlightenment.

The story begins with a unique Bodhi Tree experience in the courtyard. Through the mist and incense, the voice of the Bodhi Tree introduces the story of a man who asked himself "Who am I and why am I here?" This is the story of how a man named Siddhartha became Buddha.

Walking with Buddha physically takes you on an immersive journey through Siddhartha's life. From the opulence of Siddhartha's Palace to the harshness of the Forest, you will feel as if you are truly 'walking with Buddha'. Travelling through the various stages of Siddhartha's life, you will witness his transition from being a Prince at Court to reaching supreme awareness and becoming Buddha.

Continue onwards to the 'Hall of Bodhi Leaves', here we invite you to pick a leaf from the Bodhi Tree, which will be inscribed with a 'Bodhi Thought' for your contemplation.

Your Walking with Buddha experience ends with a stroll along the 'Path of Enlightenment', which reveals the origins of Buddhism and allows you track its expansion across the globe. You will also be enlightened as to the essence of Buddha's teachings through a variety of themed scenes and activities

The Monkey's Tale Theatre presents a charming and comical 'show' inspired by the famous Buddhist Jataka stories. Set in a magical courtyard under the branches of a majestic Bodhi Tree, this story will engage and inspire guests of all ages.

The entry to this attraction is framed by traditional, decorative columns which are illustrated with painted monkey murals. Moving inside, you'll be enchanted by the ambience of a seemingly open courtyard, before finding your seat in front of the panoramic film screen which is artfully blended into a wall of stone carvings.

Once the show starts, high definition computer generated animation, combined with special effects and surround sound, will engage your senses and immerse you in the 'monkey's tale'. Be amused by the antics of the three monkey friends, as they travel on a journey of greed, gluttony and friendship.

Monkey's Tale Theatre boasts an interactive atmosphere and you can't help but be amused and enlightened by the monkeys' journey and their lesson from the Monkey King.

Ngong Ping Tea House is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens and provides regular demonstrations of traditional Chinese tea ceremonies, as well as a selection of fine teas and cakes.
