Tian Tan Buddha - Hong Kong day trip to visit the Big Buddha on Lantau Island (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) travel video transcript:
Well good morning. Good morning. It is time for another day trip here in Hong Kong (香港) and today we're heading to Lantau Island (大嶼山). Yeah, we're going to visit the Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and we're kind of getting out in nature. We're taking a day trip getting away from the city center and all of the hustle and bustle. Yes. So that is going to be really nice.
So we have been staying in Yau Ma Tei ( 油麻地) we've taken the red line over to Lai King (荔景) and now we have to transfer to the cable car Tung Chung (東涌). That is our next destination.
Okay so we got here ten minutes after opening and it is already packed. A complete zoo. It is hurry up and wait time. Yeah, so we have our tickets but there is a huge line to actually get to the cable car. Sam is already rolling his eyes.
So we thought we were almost there. That we were getting closer to the cable car but there is a barrier and the line turns and keeps going and zig zagging and Sam is not impressed and I am not impressed. We've already been waiting like 30 minutes and it is probably going to take an hour.
So we made it. Finally off of the cable car. That was a five point seven kilometer route. Yeah, that is pretty long.
It is pretty long and our mood has improved considerably now that we're here. Because there is food in the horizon.
This I don't quite understand but there are cows just roaming munching on grass for no apparent reason.
Alright, so we have a few different options once we get off the cable car. What are we going to do?
So we're going to check out the Po Lin Monastery (寶蓮禪寺 - 宝莲禅寺) and then the Tian Tan Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) which is also known as the Big Buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and then maybe a little bit of hiking.
We totally missed this but there is a vegetarian restaurant where you can eat your meal here at the temple so that is something to consider instead of Subway sandwich.
So we climbed two hundred and sixty eight steps to make it all the way up here. Do you think we've burned off our cookies at this point?
I think we should be entitled to more cookies right now. Maybe we'll get three more on the way down. Haha. You know what the sad thing is we might just do that. Yeah. We might just do that.
There he is. There is the big buddha (天壇大佛 - 天坛大佛) and they say that on a clear day apparently you can see it from Macau. I'm not sure if I believe that but that is what they say. Maybe with a telescope.
So one thing to keep in mind is that if you visit the Buddha in the morning it is backlit so if you're a photographer and you want to be able to take some good shots from the front you may have better luck in the afternoon. Otherwise this is what you'll get.
We have found the path to wisdom. Well, it actually is called the Wisdom Path and uh we may not be wise but hopefully we will gain gain wisdom walking on this path. There you go. That is why people walk this trail. Haha. Or maybe just because it is scenic and because it is near the Buddha. Mwha.
Got the tickets. We got our tickets. We're heading back and unlike the way up where we had to wait for like an hour. No wait going down it is going to be awesome.
We're back at the MTR station and that is a wrap. So if you want to do this and you want to take the cable car. We got the cheapest option which didn't have the glass floors and that was 185 Hong Kong Dollars. Yep. Which is about twenty three twenty four US bucks. So it is not the cheapest but for a return ticket you do get some really nice views and yeah this makes a pretty cool day trip from the city center.
This is part of our Travel in Hong Kong video series showcasing Hong Kong food, Hong Kong culture and Hong Kong cuisine.

Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cabin ride to Ngong Ping Village, Hong Kong (Complete)
COMPLETE Crystal Cabin Ngong Ping 360 (gondola lift) ride to Ngong Ping Village from MTR Tung Chung Station in Lantau Island of Hong Kong. Ngong Ping 360 is named 昂坪360 in Chinese. The Crystal Cabin Ngong Ping Cable Car has a glass bottom as opposed to the regular Ngong Ping 360 Standard Cabin. Ngong Ping Village is the location of Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha (largest seated Buddha statue in the world).
Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) in Hong Kong, China
Tian Tan Buddha is a large bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in Hong Kong. The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and faith. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a tourist attraction.
The statue's base is a model of the Altar of Heaven or Earthly Mount of Tian Tan, the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. One of the five large Buddha statues in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. Surrounding it are six smaller bronze statues known as The Offering of the Six Devas that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha. These symbolise the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, all of which are necessary for enlightenment.
The statue is 34 metres tall, weighs over 250 metric tons, and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces. In addition to the exterior components, there is a strong steel framework inside to support the heavy load. Reputedly the figure can be seen across the bay from as far away as Macau on a clear day. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha, though the site also features a small winding road for vehicles to accommodate the handicapped. The Buddha's right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction, while the left rests open on his lap in a gesture of generosity. He faces north, which is unique among the great Buddha statues, as all others face south.
There are also three floors beneath the statue: the halls of the Universe, of Benevolent Merit and of Remembrance. One of the most renowned features inside is a relic of Gautama Buddha, consisting of some of his alleged cremated remains. Only visitors who purchase an offering for the Buddha are allowed to see the relic, entering to leave it there. There is a huge carved bell inscribed with images of Buddhas in the show room. It was designed to ring every seven minutes, 108 times a day, symbolising the release of 108 kinds of human vexations.
The Big Buddha was constructed beginning in 1990, and was finished on 29 December 1993, which the Chinese reckon as the day of the Buddha's enlightenment. When the statue was completed, monks from around the world were invited to the opening ceremony. Distinguished visitors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the United States all took part in the proceedings.
On 18 October 1999, the Hong Kong Post Office issued a definitive issue of landmark stamps, of which the HK$2.50 value depicts The Big Buddha. On 22 May 2012 it was also featured on the HK$3 value of the Five Festival set, this one celebrating the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha. The MTR corporation has also issued a souvenir ticket featuring a photograph of the statue.
Po Lin Monastery and the Buddha are open to the public between 10:00 and 17:30. Access to the outside of the Buddha is free of charge, but there is an admission fee to go inside the Buddha.
Visitors can reach the site by bus or taxi, travelling first to Mui Wo (also known as Silvermine Bay) via ferry from the Outlying Islands piers in Central (pier No. 6) or to Tung Chung station via the MTR, or cable car. Visitors may then travel to and from the Buddha via the following bus routes:
Mui Wo ↔ Ngong Ping — NLB No. 2
Tung Chung ↔ Ngong Ping – NLB No. 23
The Ngong Ping 360 gondola lift between Tung Chung and Ngong Ping (25 minutes).

360 video: Tian Tan Buddha Statue, Hong Kong, China
Also called the Big Buddha, this 34-meters-tall statue is one of the largest seated Buddhas in the world. Built in 1993, it has been enjoying immense popularity both as a place of religious pilgrimage and a favorite tourist spot ever since.
If you climb the nearly 270 steps and reach the statue, you can admire the detailed artistry of the Buddha's hands, clothes or face. Each of these parts was designed with a specific symbolical purpose - they are meant to evoke the qualities that Buddha has, like the fulfilling of wishes or compassion.
When planning your trip here, remember to check the weather forecast beforehand. The elevated location of the statue offers amazing and impressive views of the entire surrounding area, but if it is misty, you may have trouble even seeing the Buddha himself.
Also, check whether the cable car providing rides to and from the statue is operational before your trip. If not, you can still get to the Buddha by taxi or take a bus, but you may encounter some difficulties finding a seat, or spend a long time waiting in queues.
