Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha Statue



Well, I have been talking about the resume of the Ngong Ping 360 earlier and people have been asking me what are the nearby attractions. I have been telling them to visit Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha Statue after their cable car ride.

Some background on the this attraction:

Po Lin Monastery is a Buddhist sacred site with rich collection of Buddhish manuscripts in Hong Kong. A revered giant Buddha status, adjacent to the Monastery is the world's tallest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue. Unveiled in 1993, the statue has become a major tourist attraction. You can ride the Ngong Ping 360 spanning from Tung Chung to the Tian Tan Buddha statue and Po Lin Monastery are located.
