Tian Tan Buddha

Tian Tan Buddha is a beautiful bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993. It is the largest outdoor statue of a seated Buddha in the world and can be seen from miles away. Those who come to visit the Tian Tan Buddha will see the three-meter high altar - a unique symbol of Buddhism, dedication and devotion. Along with the statue, tourists should also visit Po Lin Monastery, which is known as the 'Buddhist World'. There they can learn more about Buddhism and the rich culture of the region. It is also home to several restaurants, souvenir shops and many other attractions. Taking the Ngong Ping 360 cable car is the best way to access the area and fully enjoy the incredible mountain and sea views. From the summit, visitors will enjoy panoramic views like nowhere else.
