Must-visit attraction in Hong Kong – Tian Tan Buddha

With only two days off for the Dragon Boat Festival, the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island is a great place to visit, away from the hustle and bustle, a place to cleanse the soul! Every time I visit the Tian Tan Buddha, I feel a sense of awe. The magnificent Buddha statue and the hundreds of steps constantly lead me forward. Climbing to the top reveals a different view, and looking at the kind Buddha statue instantly brings a deep sense of peace to my heart. Pay respects to the Buddha, offer incense, enjoy the famous tofu pudding from Lantau Island and the well-known temple pastries, and feel recharged in both body and mind.

Exploring Hong Kong’s epic Tian Tan Buddha is a bucket-list moment for any traveler 🙌. Perched on Lantau Island and towering over lush mountains, this iconic statue is all about jaw-dropping views, spiritual vibes, and a little bit of stairway cardio. Must-See Spot: 🌄 Tian Tan Buddha Address: Ngong Ping Rd, Lantau Island, Hong Kong Opening Hours: 10:00–17:30 (open every day!) You’ll need to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha itself—fair warning, but the scenic payoff at the top is absolutely worth it. The climb isn’t too intense and you can stop to admire the clouds, fog, and panoramic nature views surrounding the statue. Try visiting early in the day or right before closing to dodge tourist crowds and catch some dramatic weather shifts—one moment it’s sunny, the next it’s mysterious mist! Practical tips: – Wear comfy shoes for the climb. Those stairs are no joke! – Bring a lightweight jacket; the weather can change super fast, swinging from sunny to cloudy and rainy. – If you want peaceful vibes, time your visit for weekdays or early hours. – Great spot for close-up architecture shots! – You can grab vegetarian food from the nearby monastery—it’s tasty and cheap. Getting there: Hop on the MTR to Tung Chung station, then board the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for killer views (or take a local bus if you want to save cash).
