Big Buddha, Big Buddha, Big Buddha, Oh yeah! Big Buddha!
Today we visited Lantau Island. First stop, Big Buddha! We were going to finally see the Giant Tuan Tan Buddha! In 1993 he got a world record for largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha in the world!!!! Quite an accomplishment. (One day I would like to see the tallest standing Buddha!) Do Buddha's actually stand or are they always seated on a throne? Hmmm. This was a pretty neat sight we walked a few hundred stairs to the top where we could see the view and see other statues. Another peaceful area. Once we were finished with our visit we went to lunch! Lunch was great! Real authentic Chinese Food! And it was edible! Once we were finished with lunch we decided before we traveled to our next destination to see the Po Lin Monastery. This was another beautiful worship space. The only way I can describe this experience was enlightening. There are no other words.
