🏛 Tian Tan Buddha - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha), Hong Kong

The Tian Tan Buddha is a massive bronze statue located on Lantau Island. Standing 34 meters tall, it’s one of the world’s largest seated outdoor Buddhas and symbolizes harmony between people, nature, and faith. Reached by climbing 268 steps, it offers sweeping views over Ngong Ping and the mountains.

Tips:
• Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for scenic views on your way there.
• Go early to avoid crowds and heat, especially if you want good photos.
• Combine your visit with Po Lin Monastery and Tai O fishing village for a full day out.
• The staircase is steep but manageable with breaks.
• Entry to the statue’s base museum requires a small fee; the statue itself is free to see.

📍 Location in Po Lin Monastery, Lin Ping Road, Ngong Ping, Ngong Ping Village, Islands District, New Territories, Hong Kong, China
