Big Buddha
 

Description

Po Lin Monastery has taken 12 years to plan and build this bronze Buddha statue that symbolizes the stability of Hong Kong, prosperity of China and peace on earth. The Big Buddha statue is now a major landmark in Hong Kong. One of the main attractions of this Buddha is its 268 steps circling the platform where the Buddha sits. The statue is designed to mimic Sui and Tang Dynasty-era sculptures, when Buddhism was at its prime.

Going to this place was a bit tedious, but it was a good look into the past at the history of Hong Kong. It is also a good place to go if you are religious.

Big Buddha
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/21/07
It was nice, but there were so many steps which ruined it slightly. The atmosphere was fantastic, the view was great and it was just a really enjoyable feature of Hong Kong.

Worth the trip
By u-r_WRONG, 12/25/06
The day I went was at the end of a typhoon. It rained like mad and the trip up/thru the mountains was a little nerve-racking. I saw the whole Buddha for a brief instance then it was engolfed by clouds. I climbed the steps and it was so cool how the wind in the clouds wipped by as we stood and walked around the outside. This inside was cool. At the bottom the monks had a meal that was included with the ticket. Great food, no meat of course, outstanding flavor... Go see it, get the ticket that includes the meal...

Great!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/20/06
Great experience. Take the MTR and Ngong Ping 360 skyrail instead of the ferry/bus. Great views of Tung Chung and airport. Don't waste time in the village. Go straight to the Buddha - you can stop in the village on the way back for a bite to eat or something. You MUST climb the steps. Views from back side of Buddha are beautiful!! Well worth the trip!

its great
By Benoy, 10/15/06
it definitly is worth the journey to the big Buddha .The new cable car ride is great.It gives u a birds eye view of the area . On bright day the new airport is great especially when u are aware that quite a bit of it is reclaimed land If planning on buying a memento it would be advisable to buy if from the shop right on the foot steps of the Big Buddha .

Free lunch
pay that little extra, the fery was a good one except the ferry shop selling pot noodles were a little poor. Motion sickness......help. Strawberry milkshake as soon as i got off the ferry at McDonalds... super. Excellent bus ride. If you pay to go up to the buddah, people dont realise it but you actually pay for a free lunch too at the monks restaurant. while your there also try the soya stuff they sell on the stalls, they add a little rock sugar and honey on.... very nice.
