Hong Kong Attractions
Description
Venue: Po Lin Monastery & Big Buddha When: Daily
The world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha, the Tian Tan Buddha, or simply Big Buddha, sits serenely atop the Ngon Ping plateau, surveying the breathtaking mountain scenery of Lantau Island. The statue is 26 metres high and weighs in at a heavyweight 202 tonnes.
The Buddha sits beside Po Lin, Hong Kong's largest monastery. The monks here have developed quite a reputation for the delicious vegetarian lunches they serve up for visitors, which is just as well, as anyone climbing the steps to see the Buddha at close quarters is sure to work up an appetite.
