The largest sitting Buddha, Hong Kong

The 26-metre-high bronze Buddha statue towers over the Ngong Ping Plateau in the heart of Lantau Island, Hong Kong, and the Po Lin Monastery, an important site for Buddhists and a highlight for tourists in Hong Kong. The view of Lantau Peak and over the monastery complex is magnificent, and the crowds in the early morning, as well as the morning chill and relative peace, are very manageable. The site is easy to reach by bus from all parts of the island, especially the ferry terminals.
