About:Po Lin Monastery

Does it make sense to try to go to Po Lin & Tai O straight from airport? Place to leave bags?

We arrive early in the morning and only staying 3 days so we need to be as efficient as possible. Are Po Lin & Tai O both worth visiting if we only have that limited amount of time? Would we be able to leave our bags some place or would we be stuck carrying them everywhere? How much time should we allocate to getting to these destinations and enjoying them before heading to central HK?

Mark, both places are worthy visiting. 1 day is totally enough to cover the two sights. From the airport, you can take bus S1 or S56 to Tung Chung, then either take a cable car or bus no. 23 to Ngong Ping and then walk southwards to the monastery. Half day should be enough.
Then, take bus no. 21 to Tai O. Spend the rest of the day in that peaceful place and you can leave for Central HK the next day morning.
I heard subway stations, hotels, and some scenic areas can provide luggage deposit service. It should not be a major concern.

Benjamin, thank you for your response. Very helpful. It appears the cable car is closed until June. In that case, would you recommend taking one of the blue taxis from the airport to NP Village?

Oh, of course the blue taxi can be your choice. Catch one at HKIA and it will take you to NP Village with the fare of around 200HKD.
