Spectacular views of Hong Kong! The charms and tourist guide of Po Lin Monastery】*

#HongKongStrategy **【* Located in Lantau Mountain, Hong Kong, Po Lin Monastery is the first of Hong Kong's four major Zen temples, also known as the "Nantian Buddhist Land". Founded in 1924, this temple is surrounded by magnificent architecture and beautiful nature, making it a great place to heal your soul. In the center of the temple stands the world's largest bronze open-air Buddha, the "Big Buddha", whose majestic appearance overwhelms visitors. The Big Buddha is about 34 meters tall and weighs 250 tons, and its computer-controlled bell rings 108 times every day, which is said to dispel worldly desires. Inside the temple, there is also the Great Hero Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, and the Hall of the Buddha, where you can enjoy simple but delicious vegetarian cuisine. In the surrounding area, you can enjoy a special experience where nature and culture blend together, with a unique group of stone monuments known as the "Heart Sutra Kanrin" and the famous sunrise spot, Phoenix Mountain. Accessible via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, this is a unique spot in Hong Kong where you can enjoy sightseeing and meditation at the same time. If you visit, be sure to take the time to enjoy some quiet time.
