Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha)

The Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the "Big Buddha," is a must-see attraction for tourists visiting Hong Kong.

Located on Lantau Island, the statue stands at an impressive 34 meters tall and is made of bronze. The statue represents the Buddha in a seated position, with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. Visitors can take a cable car ride to reach the statue, which offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Once at the top, tourists can explore the Po Lin Monastery, which is located at the base of the statue. The monastery is a peaceful and serene place where visitors can learn more about Buddhism and its history in Hong Kong. The statue itself is surrounded by six smaller statues, representing the "Six Devas," who are said to protect the Buddha.

The Tian Tan Buddha is a symbol of peace, harmony, and enlightenment and is a popular spot for both tourists and locals alike. Visitors can also enjoy a vegetarian meal at the monastery's restaurant, which serves traditional Chinese cuisine. The statue is open to the public every day of the year, making it a convenient and accessible attraction for all visitors.
