Giant Buddha

posted by phaines on 21 July 2011 at 09:15

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.

MTR Tung Chung Station, then get on the Ngong Ping Cable Car or take the 23 bus

Po Lin Monastery

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.

Wat Pho

We had heard so much about the Temple of the Reclining Buddha that we thought it was essential we had a look. It's 46 metres long and 15 metres high and housed in the oldest temple in Bangkok. Go see it - it is simply out of this world.

Lumpini Park

posted by ashleyhotmama on 8 July 2009 at 02:29

Lumpini Park is a popular oasis, named after Buddha's birthplace. The best time to arrive is just after sunrise, when hordes of fitness fanatics can be spotted jogging, doing aerobics, practicing tai chi, yoga or even ballroom dancing. You can hire a paddle boat, eat at one of the reasonably priced outdoor restaurants, or just take it easy under a shady tree.

Big Buddha

posted by ashleyhotmama on 8 July 2009 at 02:26

This is quite a ways from central Hong Kong but it is well worth the trip. Buddhas don't get any bigger than this. It took more than ten years to build. It is made entirely of metal and consists of a steel framework covered by steel and bronze "skin," as well as over one ton of gold amalgam. There are 268 steps to get to the Buddha.
