(Video) ‘That’s a big Buddha:’ Stars visit Ngong Ping
In a new episode of his travel series 48 Hours, former IT Crowd star Richard Ayoade leads Jon Hamm (Mad Men) on a whistlestop tour of Hong Kong.
Filming over Christmas, the droll pair taste offal skewers, buy corduroy suits and survive a bruising encounter with a masseur before taking the cable car to Ngong Ping.
Or as Ayoade calls it, En-gong Ping.
“That’s a big Buddha,” they agree as the bronze icon comes into view.
In Ngong Ping, they share a moment with a four-legged resident and discuss the lyrics of Kenny Rogers.
“This is the path to enlightenment,” remarks Hamm as they reach Ngong Ping Village.
“It’s certainly been paved.”

N Gong Ping.?
Ever since this attraction was announced I wondered why a tourist destination was given a name which tourists would not be able to understand or pronounce.
So in English why not call it Gong Ping?
