Lantau
We made a trip to the island of Lantau today. To get there, we took a ferry from Hong Kong Island to Mui Wo on Lantau, followed by an adventurous bus ride to Ngong Ping: narrow, winding road with a speed limit of 70 km/h (at least in some spots).
On the bus, the scenery was just flying by.
At our destination, we visited the big Buddha, wandered around, enjoyed the scenery, had vegetarian lunch at the monestary, explored the temple, and generally had a good time.
And, finally, we made our way back by gondola and train. The gondola ride was pretty cool. Awesome views of the landscape and the Buddha, the airport and the sea.
Good stuff. 
A highly recommended day trip for Hong Kong visitors.
