HK Adventures : Big Buddha


As mentioned in the previous post, last day in HK was just me and Kenny heading to Tai Yu San. It was a week day and crowd was thin. Weather was good too, a nice day for an outing. Tai Yu San is at the outskirt of HK. We boarded the MTR to one of its last stations, lodged our luggage at the locker to be collected at the end of the day on our way to the airport, just a stone's throw away.


We opted for the spectacular Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cabin. The views were magnificent, very green and picturesque. I felt like i've been transported out of HK to another dimension.


The Big Buddha was what we were there for. But i reached the place at noon ( wah...so sunny) and there were hundreds of steps to climb before i was able to reach the top ( wah...so tired)


Yeay...i did it ! It was scorching hot, so after a few moments looking at the Big Buddha, we went indoors to explore the columbarium and altars inside.


One last breathtaking photo before heading down. Down at the Ngong Ping Village, Kenny and I also watched the Monkey's Tale and Walking with Buddha shows.


On our way down, we got the crystal cabin all to ourselves...lucky!
