This is a wonderful spot, up at the Po Lin Monastery where you can walk on the Wisdom path but best of all it's where the totally massive Buddha is! It's worth the 200-step climb to see it up close.

Best known for its giant buddha statue, the monastery itself is also worth a look, and not just for the fantastic scenery that surrounds it. Delicious lunch is followed by a walk along the Wisdom Path to the Heart Sutra.

I loved visiting this green island with its huge monastery. The monastery was lovely and I stayed a while and got to eat some totally delicious (vegetarian) food as well as really get a great look at the whole of the place. Would definitely recommend a visit.

you can drive there or hitch a ride/get public transport, i did consider walking but the link bridge looked a bit dangerous for pedestrians
