The Crystal Cabin
You go up the escalators to the ticket office. 3 Adults were 507HK ($63) total cost. For some reason our 12 year old was free that day so it ended up being cheaper than the normal car! Not sure why the deal was on, but lucky.  We went on a Monday at 10:30.  Next time I will make sure I get there by 10:00 to queue as it took us over 45 minutes to get on the crystal cable car.  We were told it is much quicker to pay the extra however there are 5 normal cars to one crystal, so I am not sure how much quicker the queue is.  The scenery is beautiful.  make sure you look down after the ocean and see the old family graves far down below.  Also make sure you pay to go to the Po Lin Vegetarian Restaurant.  The food is excellent. 240HK $30 for family of 4.
