Pilgrimage Site in Hong Kong
slide 2: o While holidaying in Hong Kong tourists often spend time in
exploring various street markets and night markets. They love
to browse through the fashionable items and souvenirs and
bargain with sellers for cheap prices.
o But you cannot experience the distinct customs and unique
culture of Hong Kong without exploring various temples
shrines and architecture.
o You can further make your upcoming holiday memorable by
visiting Lantau Island- the largest island in Hong Kong
featuring a long sandy beach and is located at the mouth of the
Pearl River.
slide 3: o The trip to Lantau Island will enable you to
explore the distinct Buddhist culture of the
region by spending time at the Po Lin
Monastery.
o The famed monastery was built by three
monks visiting the region. It still features
three bronze statues of the Buddha along
with many Buddhist scriptures.
o The three statues represent the Buddha’s
past present and future lives. The Po Lin
Monastery mostly remains hidden away by
lush mountains. But what you can notice
from far away is the Big Buddha or the Tian
Tan Buddha.
slide 4: o Unlike the bronze statues of Buddha the Tian Tan Buddha is not an
integral part of the Po Lin Monastery.
o The bronze Buddha statue was constructed near the ancient monastery
in 1993.
o But 34-meter high and 250-ton statue of Buddha is currently one of
the most popular tourist destinations in the region.
o Both local and international tourists love the experience of climbing
268 steps to reach the Buddha.
o They even love to explore the unique status of Buddha constructed
using 202 pieces of bronze.
slide 5: o In addition to exploring the Big Buddha many
tourists also pay respect to the relic of Gautama
Buddha. Many Buddhist monks believe that the
relic contains cremated remains of the great
Sakyamuni.
o But you cannot pay respect to the relics without
purchasing an offering. After buying the offering
you can enter the shrine pay respect and exit.
o While exploring the Tian Tan Buddha you can
also consider hanging out at some of the
restaurants operated by Buddhist monks.
