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.
