Popular Hong Kong attraction Ngong Ping 360 is gaining a new lease of life with a sensory tourism programme to debut this year, including fresh performances and MICE space.
The Monkey Theatre at Ngong Ping Village will be relaunched in 2Q with a 3D theatre and a live theatre for action-packed performances themed on classic Hong Kong movies. By the end of the year, additional themed activities such as movie stunt demonstrations will commence at the Village.
Stella Kwan, head of commerce for the attraction, said the revamp of Monkey Theatre costs more than HK$30 million (US$3.9 million).
Part of the Ngong Ping 360 terminal will be converted into a new, 310m2 MICE venue from 3Q, called 360 Dialogue.
“Our team started approaching corporates in recent months to market our new one-day MICE programme, combining a half-day Dining In Silence session for food appreciation and interaction in total silence, with optional activities such as hiking and visits to Tai O,” said Kwan.
Other programmes to begin in the second half of 2014 include the Aerial Wire Experience, while it will offer accommodation packages and aftenoon tea tours for the first time.
Ngong Ping 360 has also implemented a new online ticketing system allowing mobile ticketing and reservation of return trip tickets. A new audio guide can be downloaded via WeChat. – Prudence Lui
