Giant Buddha - Hong Kong, China

Ngong Ping, Lantau Island

This awe-inspiring giant statue has a unique claim to fame: it's the world largest outdoor, seated, bronze Buddha. With its religious significance and spectacular island-wide views, it's a serene site that attracts Buddhists from all over the world. No matter what your religion, it's a truly special place that you simply must visit - but be prepared for the killer flight of stairs! Admission includes a vegetarian lunch at the adjacent Buddhist monastery - we recommend upgrading to the deluxe meal. To get here, jump on a ferry from Central and then catch bus number two - they're usually well signed. Also look out for the Ngong Ping cable car due to open soon.
