Perched high on Lantau Island, Big Buddha is the largest, seated, outdoor bronze Buddha in the world! While it is absolutely a tourist trap (built in 1993!) it’s still a really cool attraction here in HK. Read more about how they built this gigantic Buddha here. Apparently the head alone weighs over 11,000lbs!
Feast your eyes on these pics and be sure to come with your battery charged on your own visit!
How to get there: MTR from Central Station to Tung Chung Station, followed by a 25minute cable car ride
high above the water and the mountains - opt for the glass bottom gondola (YIKES!).
A short walk through the
souvenir shops in Ngong Ping village (left).
Finally up 200 plus steps to come face to face with Buddha himself (below).

After Buddha, recharge your batteries at the vegetarian restaurant and stroll through nearby Po Lin Monastery.
