TIAN TAN BUDDHA : THE SECOND LARGEST OPEN AIR BRONZE BUDDHA
Tian Tan Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a tourist attraction. The statue is 34 metres (112 ft) tall, weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons) and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces
NGONG PING 360-ASIA’s LONGEST BI-CABLE ROPEWAY IN ASIA
Ngong Ping (Chinese: 昂坪) is a highland in the western part of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It hosts Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha amidst the hills which is about 34 m tall. There are several hills nearby which are also an attraction to tourists. It is now the terminus of the cable car ride Ngong Ping 360 which travels to Tung Chung. New facilities and tourist attractions have opened including the Ngong Ping Village, Walking with the Buddha, the Monkey’s Tale Theatre and Ngong Ping Tea House. The second highest peak of Hong Kong, Lantau Peak, is at its southeast. I simply love this amazing NGONG PING 360 cableway
