What to do all depends on what time of the day you are arriving and how much pollution is around.
The cable car has been closed since an accident in June during off-hours testing, but I believe it's opening again soon. Not a bad suggestion if you can find the bus to Tung Chung. There's also a bus from Tung Chung to the big Buddha, #23.
