Tian Tan Buddha Retreat, Food Tour

The most famous Buddhist holy site in Hong Kong is the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island. The Tian Tan Buddha contains Buddhist relics. It is the world's largest outdoor bronze Buddha. The renovation work was completed in September 2022. The rust on the bronze was removed and it was painted with new paint. It is said that the Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau Island and the Guanyin of Tsz Shan Monastery in Tai Po are facing each other. Take bus number 3M outside Tung Chung MTR Station, or take the cable car to reach the Tian Tan Buddha and Ngong Ping Village on Lantau Island. There are many places to eat in the market𥚃, and there are also many check-in spots selling souvenirs. At the entrance of the Temple of Heaven Buddha, there are the 12 Yaksha Generals mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, who protect friends of 12 different zodiac signs respectively. There are many stalls selling Shanshui tofu pudding and incense and candles at the foot of the Tian Tan Buddha. You can go to these places to enjoy refreshments after visiting the Tian Tan Buddha. There are different Buddhas in Po Lin Monastery, including the Three Buddhas, the Five Buddhas, Guanyin and Bodhisattva. You can buy incense and candles to worship outside, and pray for blessings and make wishes. Because it is a natural environment, you can see some cows walking around among the crowd in Tung Chung. These cows are not afraid of people and are kind-hearted. You can watch them from a distance or take photos with them. #Good Places to Go in the Suburbs

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).
