One of Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks.

#hkonbudget Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha, is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic landmarks, located on Lantau Island. This massive bronze statue stands at an impressive height, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can reach the statue by climbing a long staircase, which adds to the sense of accomplishment upon arrival. The site is deeply spiritual, as the Buddha is seated in a meditative pose, symbolizing peace and harmony. Nearby, Po Lin Monastery provides an opportunity to explore traditional Buddhist architecture and enjoy a vegetarian meal. The area is also accessible via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, which offers stunning panoramic views during the journey. The atmosphere at Tian Tan Buddha is serene, making it a great place for reflection and appreciation of nature. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the experience remains memorable for those seeking cultural and spiritual enrichment. Whether visiting for the impressive statue, the scenic surroundings, or the historical significance, this landmark is a must-see in Hong Kong.
