Big Buddha or Tian Tan Buddha

The Big Buddha or Tian Tan Buddha is an enormous statue which is situated within the Po Lin Monastery complex. Once considered as a distant monastery which is hidden from view by lush and mountain sceneries, the Po Lin Monastery became one of the most popular tourist destinations and emerged as the major center of Buddhism with the construction of the Buddha statue in 1993.

Towering over Hong Kong’s skyline, the sitting Big Buddha measures approximately 34 meters high and weighs around 250 metric tons; thus, making it the tallest outdoor Buddha in the world as of 2007. Sitting on the hills of Lantau Island, you can get a glimpse of this statue from as far as Macau on a clear, sunny day. Climb the 260 steps to get a closer look at the enormous statue. As you reach the top, enjoy a panoramic view of the soaring mountains and lush valleys as you take in the extraordinary beauty of the Lantau Island.
