Gaze at the towering bronze Tian Tan Buddha

The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue, located near the Po Lin Monastery which built it, is a tourist attraction.

CHINA // When flying into Hong Kong, take a peek out of the window and you may spot this giant Buddha perched atop Lantau Island. There are larger Buddha statues elsewhere in the world, but none that are seated, outdoors or made of bronze like this one, weighing 250 tonnes and towering over 34m (112ft) high. Slog your way heavenwards up 268 steps to his bird's-eye throne and you will appreciate Lantau as Buddha sees it: gloriously green and pretty.
