The Tian Tan Buddha or the Big Buddha is a large 34 metres bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni. It was completed in 1993. A very impressive statue of Buddha indeed, also from different angles!.

The best way, in my opinion (and I'm old and fat) is to take the bus up and then walk underneath the cable car down to Tung Chung. It's an excellent trail which is pretty challenging going up but pretty easy going down.

You need to take a cable car ride to this and the entire trip is worth a few hours. You can find good deals on Klook.com for the cable car. Visiting the statue is free. There is a monastery nearby where you get Chinese vegetarian food as well

The Statue of the 112 feet tall Big Buddha, constructed from 202 bronze pieces and 34 metres tall is a must visit when you visit Ngong Ping. It is visited through the year by a large number of tourists. Very peaceful and worth spending some time. The Buddha statue denotes the harmonious relationship between people and faith, set amidst the lap of nature. A total of 268 steps lead to Buddha. However, there is also a small road for vehicles etc. so that any one with a physical disability is also able to visit. Beneath the statue are three halls and there is a relic of Buddha inside which can be seen only by visitors who purchase an offering for the Buddha. Worth a visit totally!…

The weather was very hot, and the sun was so big. But it is worth when you finish the stair and saw the Buddha. A super sizes Buddha that I have never seen and the inside area will have air conditioner, you can take a rest after finishing the stair.
