Overview
Take a trip to Tian Tan Buddha on your Hong Kong Vacation
The Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) is the second-largest seated Buddha statue in the world. The 112 ft (34 m) statue is made of over 200 bronze pieces. Located on the Ngong Ping highland in Lantau Island, the statue is an important spiritual, cultural, artistic, and engineering icon for Hong Kong residents.
To reach the statue, you have to ascend 268 steps, where you will be rewarded with views of dramatic scenery. For a fee, you can visit an exhibition within the building. The beautiful Po Lin (Precious Lotus) Monastery is located just four minutes away. Wisdom Path is a serene outdoor trail just behind the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. It's lined with 38 wooden pillars in an infinity symbol, with the Heart Sutra carved into them. The paths wind up and down in a loop, making for a unique hiking experience.
Fog is a common occurrence. While you can still enjoy a good view of the Big Buddha on a foggy day, check the weather forecast and keep a flexible itinerary to make the most of your visit to the incredible statue.

What do the experts say?
If you're looking for a fun local experience in Hong Kong, head to the Happy Valley Racecourse for some exciting horse racing.
For me its all about the buildings. Hong Kong has the most amazing skyline. Best place to see the skyline is from the East Coast Park Precinct in Causeway Bay.
Besides being known mostly as a modern city, the Central Green Trail is a fantastic hiking route in Hong Kong that offers a beautiful escape from the city.
