What is the best way for me and my friend to get to Big Buddha from Whampoa next Monday (17 March) given the cable car is not in operation and we aren’t huge fans of buses.

I was hoping to take a taxi/uber the whole way there and back but I am not sure if this is possible with the different taxi licenses.

Are there plenty of taxis to and from Tung Chung station or will this be exceptionally difficult given the cable car is not operating?

Thanks so much for all your help!

You can't. Blue taxis cannot operate off lantau island, and only blue taxis can operate on the south lantau roads.

Blue taxis can be in incredibly tricky to get when there is lots of tourist demand. Getting there is one thing. Getting back is another entirely.

You're possibly about to find a situation you like less.

Keep this on hand and octopus cards with enough balance to bay the fare-

You don't have to be a fan of the bus to ride a bus.
