Ngong Ping Cable Car to the Big Buddha

#Hong Kong Travel
Taking the Ngong Ping cable car to worship the Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tian Buddha, the world's largest meditating Buddha statue. During the 25-minute ride up the Ngong Ping cable car, you will be able to fully enjoy the beautiful view of Lantau Island. There are 2 types of Ngong Ping cable cars to choose from: the regular Ngong Ping cable car and the crystal Ngong Ping cable car. Both types are similar in that you will be able to see a 360-degree view of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. However, the crystal Ngong Ping cable car is special because it has a glass floor, allowing you to see the view below as well.
The Tian Tan Buddha was built in 1924 and cost approximately HK$60 million to build. It is a bronze Buddha statue in the meditating posture, modeled after the Buddha statue in the Longmen Grottoes. It is 34 meters high and made from 160 bronze pieces, weighing 250 tons. It sits on a lotus pedestal, facing north to watch over Hong Kong and mainland Chinese people. His eyes and mouth are gentle and graceful. His right hand is raised to bless the people. It shines brightly when it is hit by the sunlight. #Worship #Travel in the rainy season
