Stormy days at the incredible Buddha in HK

#meethongkong Let me introduce you to the Tian Tan Buddha strategically located on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The location is great because it is located close to the International Airport of Hong Kong and also close to Disney Land in Hong Kong. Furthermore it is easy to get there from Hong Kong as well. We took the bus all the way to the top and when we arrived it was raining cats and dogs, so we had to get some rain coats. From there we walked about ten to fifteen minutes to the Tian Tan Buddha which was closed unfortunately due to the heavy rain. Anyways we had a great view on the Buddha from the bottom #tripblazers

Tian Tan Buddha

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).
