Giant Buddha/ Po Lin Monastery

The majestic figure of the seated bronze Buddha is 34 meters high which sits atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the mountain scenery of Lantau Island. Visitors can climb the 268 steps to reach the platform where the Buddha is seated; however, we decided to take photos at the first step of the platform. The remote Po Lin Monastery has various figures of gods and aspects of Buddhist religion. There is vegetarian lunch prepared by monks sold at the Monastery. To get there, take Tung Chung MTR Exit B and then take bus 23 from Tung Chung Town Center.

There is cable car from Tung Chung Town Center but I was not sure it could directly reach there. Tung Chung Town Center is brand-name outlet mall which shoppers will enjoy.
