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.

Hong Kong hiking, Buddha views, and a legendary monastery meal? Count me in 😍🌦️ Here’s my top picks from an epic Lantau Island adventure—perfect even on a cloudy day! 🏞️ Lantau Peak (934m): Start your hike from Ngong Ping Village (Lantau Trail Sec. 3, open 06:00–23:00). Brace yourself for lots of stairs, especially if it’s windy! No blue skies needed—the scenery is stunning, with a backdrop of mountains and bays that looks magical in the clouds. 🪵 Wisdom Path: Just a quick walk from the monastery. This outdoor art circle (大嶼山, Ngong Ping Fun Walk, open all day) brings a chill, spiritual vibe. Snap pics among the giant wooden pillars etched with ancient script. 🗿 Tian Tan Buddha: Iconic and massive, the Big Buddha (Ngong Ping Rd, open 10:00–17:30) is a must-see. After the climb, the statue in the mist is next-level picturesque, especially surrounded by lush mountains—even if you get a little rain! Insider tip: Fuel up with a vegetarian meal at the monastery—150 HKD per person for generous portions, and it’s surprisingly tasty! Great refuel after the hike. Getting around: Take MTR to Tung Chung, then hop the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for extra views (tip: book tickets ahead on trip.com), or use local buses if you're on a budget. Weather Hacks: Lantau’s trails get slippery in the rain—good hiking shoes are a must. Don’t let grey skies keep you away, the mist adds serious atmosphere! #HongKongHikes #LantauIsland #BigBuddha #WisdomPath #tripdotcom
