Big Buddha Hk

Big Buddha Hk. The Big Buddha, also known as Tian Tan Buddha, is famed as the most iconic attraction of Lantau. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a tourist attraction.

Big Buddha is the local nickname while the official name is the Tian Tan Buddha. There are six smaller statues of Buddha on the same platform as the Big Buddha statue Hong Kong, facing it. Tian Tan Buddha or Big Buddha?

Tian Tan, as the Big Buddha is known, is made of bronze.

The statue is set near Po Lin Monastery and symbolizes the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith.

Unlike Ten Thousand Buddhas, the Big Buddha in Hong Kong that is considered as a tourist destination, can be found in Lantau Island. Serenely nestled on the hills of Lantau Island, it also takes a bit of a time commitment and varying amounts of dough (not to mention hundreds of stairs) to access the Buddha's smiling face. The best way to get there?
