There may be bigger statues of Buddha, on higher mountain, with lot more stairs, in more remote places, with more gold paint, with more bells and whistles, more fancy etc etc etc but that doesn't make this one any less inferior.

It took us multiple attempts to get to Tian Tan Buddha due to the strict cable car schedule but what an experience it was. Soak up the temples, statues, and gorgeous nature, and then take the bus to Tai O village for dinner.

It is a great experience once. A must see. Go in the winter as the walking will be tough for older people. There are a lot of tourists so do not expect this to be a peaceful retreat with the family.
