Tian Tan Buddha & Po Lin Monastery (By Edward)

Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha which is a large bronze statue of a Buddha. The Buddha was completed in 1993 and built at Ngong Ping that located in Lantau Island. The Buddha is located near Po Lin Monastery and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion. It is a major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong, and is also a popular tourist attraction.

You can visit the magnidicant Buddha here that is one of the five largest Buddha status in China.

If you are Buddihists, you should go to the Po Lin Monastery to make a formal visit. There are many specific things related to the buddism that you can find in here only within Hong Kong.

Wish you can enjoy your trips for visiting Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. If you are Buddists, hope you can be satisfied in the visiting. Thank you for your attentions.

Ngong Ping 360 (By Wilson)

Ngong Ping 360 is a quite new attraction in Hong Kong. It started from 2006 and it is .is the longest cable ropeway in Asia. Why it call 360? Because visitors can enjoy 360 degree view from the windows on the Ngong Ping Cable Car.

Let's go!! Going to Ngong Ping 360 station by MTR is one of the methods.

I teach you how to go there!

Avenue of Stars (By Wilson)

Tsim Sha Tsui must be a nice attraction in Hong Kong. besides shops and shopping malls, I highly recommend Avenue of Stars. It is a waterfront promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui  East that showing the handprints of movie celebrities and stars, like Leon Lai, Jacky Cheung and John Woo. you can enjoy the view of Victoria Harbour and "A Symphony of Lights" at 8:00 pm.

This is the night view of Hong Kong that was taken at Tsim Sha Tsui  East .

Nice photo! what a wonderful view of Victoria Harbour!! But I am very sorry about my bad camera :(

HAHA! Nice coffee shop! You can enjoy your coffee and view too.

This is the handprint of Leon Lai.

This is the handprint of John Woo.

This is the handprint of Jackey Cheung.

This is the handprint of Tsang Chi Wai.

There are many stone figures that about moives...
Many visitors have taken photos with "them".

This store is selling some drinks and sanks for visitors.

This shops sell souvenirs, like T-shirts, toys and some things special about Hong Kong.

This is the peomotion of Hong Kong to China visitors.

I think Tsim Sha Tsui is a unforgettable attraction since Avenue of Stars must make an impression to visiitors. Also, the view of Victoria Harbour with "A Symphony of Lights" is one of the logos of Hong Kong. enjoying the wind and view at there, you can forget any trouble and worry.
