No trip to Hong Kong would be absolute without a visit to the Giant
Buddha which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the amazing
mountain scenery of Lantau Island.
The magnificent figure of the seated Buddha was cast in China and took 12 years to inclusive. It was
unveiled in December 1993 amid deeply religious ceremonies. Visitors can climb more than 200 steps to
reach the podium where the Buddha is seated. Besides attracting Buddhists from
all over Asia, the glorious figure with its persuasive presence almost instantaneously
transformed the remote Po Lin Monastery with its spiritual monks into a
must-visit on tourist schedules.
The Po Lin Monastery is set amid fantastic mountain scenery on the Ngong Ping plateau.
Besides approving the massive statue there is also much to see and do at the
monastery itself with its various figures of gods and other colorful manifestations
of aspects of the Buddhist religion. You can even enjoy a vegetarian lunch. The Po Lin Monastery is set amid fantastic mountain scenery on the Ngong Ping plateau.
