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.

I highly recommend Suzzette as a group coordinator for her professionalism, dedication, and high‑quality service.Anchored Memories TravelMike K. graciously provided us with a perfect itinerary, offering us flexible high quality options for our trip.

Their involvement was seamless and surprisingly smooth between them and all of our hotels and tours.

Very special thanks to the local guides in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing ( Richard, Richard and James) who were second to none! Each was a knowledgeable ambassador for their home city, working hard to ensure our enjoyment and comfort, and to showcase the beauty of each area and its current and historical sites. They very kindly and patiently assisted everyone, and especially accommodated 2 of our group who encountered unexpected wellness challenges. The local bus drivers for our group were experts too, keeping us on time and safe on the roads and highways. Hotels were beautiful, welcoming, well located and appointed, quiet, comfortable and clean. Additional travel arrangements by air and high speed train went off without a hitch. KATHLEEN LLOYDThis was the first time we used Goway Travel and Brooke Theron was absolutely the best to deal with. Our safari in Africa was fabulous and we were able to have all four questions answered before we left. It was a trip to remember and we would recommend both Brooke and Goway to other who are looking for a great experience. Thanks Brooke and Goway.Joyce RobinsonWe decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue BlakeOur experience was amazing! The booking process went great. We just had to pack our clothes and everything else was taken care of thanks to Goway Travel… Lori Mezzomo!!!
