Tian Tan Buddha

#familytravel Highly recommended. It is a beautiful place although a bit commercial without loosing its appeal. I have arrived there by bus and by cable cart. I recommend the cable car experience unless you do not like heights. Half a day is sufficient to visit the buddah.A must see when visiting Hong Kong. Was surprised to learn the Buddha was actually constructed in resent history and there are some pictures & documentary videos which can be found in the surrounding temple/ monastery. You can also go inside the Buddha and walk around the top and outside of it. It’s all free to visit the actual Buddha and temples (save any donations you wish to make). No requirement to cover shoulders or legs but it is a very spiritual place so respectful behaviour is expected. Get there early and you get a more peaceful experience! We were glad to be leaving as the crowds of people started to arrive around midday and remember you can get the bus up here too you don’t have to use the cable car (which is more expensive).
