5 spectacular cable car rides in Asia
1. Cable Car at Mount Faber, Singapore
Spanning the hilltop at Mount Faber Peak and Sentosa Island, the Singapore Cable Car Sky Network consists of six stations on two main lines that connect mainland Singapore to Sentosa Island. Enjoy a scenic lunch at the Arbora Hilltop Garden and Bistro before embarking on the cable car ride from the Mount Faber Line towards Sentosa Island. Views of rainforest greens covering Mount Faber, luxury high-rises and yachts in Keppel Bay emerge around riders as the car glides toward Sentosa Island’s well-loved holiday resorts and water parks.
2. Gondola Ancol, Jakarta, Indonesia
Situated in Ancol Dreamland, the largest integrated tourism and resort destination in Southeast Asia, a ride on Gondola Ancol treats passengers to 360 views of the resort and waterfront area of north Jakarta.

3. Ngong Ping 360, Hong Kong
Find this breathtaking cable car ride on Lantau Island, connecting downtown Tung Chung to the start of your exploration of Ngong Ping Village.
