Lantau Island, which is far away from the city, is rich in natural resources, attracting a large number of tourists to hike and climb the mountain. There are many attractions nearby, such as the Giant Buddha of Heaven, Po Lin Monastery and Heart Sutra Forest, and the second highest peak in Hong Kong, Phoenix Mountain, is also in this area. YHA Ngong Ping Davis Youth Hostel is located near the attraction.
Different from other member hostels of the Hong Kong Youth Hostel Association, Ngong Ping Davis is located in the outlying islands area and Lantau Island, which has unique natural conditions, and the hardware and software facilities equipped with the rooms are slightly simple, but they also have the characteristics of outlying island scenic spots, providing a camping area for guests who love hiking, which is a special activity that other holiday homes cannot provide.
The camping area at Ngong Ping Davis offers an all-inclusive service for non-camping experience, with pillows, beds, inflatable sleeping mats, camping lights, etc., as well as unlimited use of the hostel's kitchen and shower facilities. The upgraded version of camping can also choose a bohemian tent camp, where you can barbecue, watch the stars, and party in the camping area, which is a different experience from the accommodation in a regular youth hostel. However, it should be noted that Ngong Ping Davis is located on the mountain, and there are many mosquitoes in summer, so it is best to bring anti-mosquito bite medicine.
The indoor facilities of Ngong Ping Davis are a little more simple than that of the Jockey Club Mount Davis, and the multi-person dormitory is only equipped with bunk beds and lockers, and the beds do not have independent reading lights, sockets, curtains, etc., just like a simple version of the university student dormitory. The double rooms are slightly better equipped than dormitory-type rooms, with simple patterns on the walls and floor-to-ceiling lamps. However, whether it is a dormitory-type room or a twin room, you need to share a toilet and bathroom. The common areas are equipped with standard features such as recreation rooms and shared kitchens, giving guests more time to interact and interact with each other in hostels away from the city.
If you want to book a room or experience camping activities in Ngong Ping Davis, you need to be a member of the Youth Hostel Association, otherwise you will not be able to stay or participate in camping activities, which is the same as the Jockey Club Mount Davis Youth Hostel. Reception in the lobby is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. If you like the accommodation culture of the youth hostel and experience the fun of camping, you can choose to apply to join the youth hostel as a member at check-in. However, Ngong Ping Davis Hostel is more remote and you need to take a bus or Ngong Ping 360 cable car to reach the hostel before 6pm, and if you are after 6pm, you can only take a taxi. Bus schedules can be provided by contacting the property.
The cost of a bed in Ngong Ping Davis starts from HK$150, and a double room costs around HK$380. Camping starts at HK$320 for two people, and camping accommodation for four, five or six people varies in price.
