  There are many fascinating elements to Lantau Island, but the Giant Buddha is the pre-eminent highlight. You can either be driven up close to the statue or climb the 250+ steps to reach him. The photographic opportunities are wonderful, but sun glare can be a photographic hindrance if you go mid-day. Next visit, I'd like to visit in the later... More

  Again,we encountered super long lines during this visit to HK. It was a weekday when we visited big buddha but you can just imagine the queue. Good thing is it is fast moving and organized. We already had vouchers for the cable car but we need to change it to tickets in one of the counters. Our line was "shorter"... More

  Wear comfy flat shoes! There is a lot of walking specially on the way up to the Buddha. You might be an expert with walking on high heels but you will save time and enjoy better with comfy shoes! You have to take the cable cars on the way there. Takes about 30 mins. The view is nice but make... More

  Great trip up in the cable car, costs a bit more but worth it. We only climbed to the top of the Buddha and saw the Temple

However once we got about 3/3 of the way up we went through the clouds and it was basically foggy all the way up even to the Great Buddha !!! The walk to... More

  To go to Big Buddha is very convenient. U can either by the cable car direct or the traditional way by ferry and bus bit it takes longer timing. I prefer by ferry then follow by bus. The bus can see the island throughout, good scenery along the way and free thoughts. When reach the place, take the long steps... More

  A great day out, worth doing the tour. Even though not very old, putting a 10 ton bronze Buddha on a hill is an achievement. A bit touristy, it is still spiritual, and the temple is great. Worth taking the 286 steps up to see the Buddha up close, and the exhibition up there. Good family day out. The cable... More

  You need to buy tickets to go up to the Buddha area. There are 2 types of tickets, one comes with deluxe vegetarian lunch. We bought the basic one, comes with snack. Go up many flights to reach the Buddha area. Then come down and have snack at the temple opposite the Buddha. The snack is quite filling, comes with... More
