One-day tour of Hong Kong, ending in the Temple of Heaven Buddha, and returning to Shenzhen in the evening, near the airport. How to save money and be convenient?
The Giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven is one of the famous tourist attractions in Hong Kong, but there are not many foreign tourists visiting here, mainly local citizens in Hong Kong. If this is your first time to Hong Kong, I suggest you don't take the bus. For example, when I first went there, I took the subway to Tung Chung and then took the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Ticket price 107 yuan. When you get on the cable car, you will feel like flying in the sky. Because the cable car has to climb all over Lantau Island, although there are not many plants on the mountain, one piece of green has made people feel very relaxed and happy. Moreover, the cable car must first pass through a big lake, and the right side of the cable car trip is a blue unpolluted sea. There is also a reclamation project built in Hong Kong at the beginning of 2 1 century. The cool breeze on the cable car makes you feel no heat in this sunny summer, and you begin to feel that Lantau Island is very small. I didn't expect it to arrive in about 25 minutes. It turns out that the whole mountain is an island in Hong Kong. Five minutes later, I saw the giant Buddha sitting there, and it still had a special smell.
Get off the cable car and walk for about 5- 10 minutes, and you will arrive at the Giant Buddha. The so-called Ngong Ping market on the road is really boring, just like domestic tourist attractions. I believe you will be surprised when you arrive at the Giant Buddha. Although the giant Buddha is not big, you really wouldn't think it was in Hong Kong from the front.
The location of the giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven is excellent, in other words, the geomantic omen is excellent. It was not until I saw the Giant Buddha Memorial Hall that I knew that the site had been chosen for several years. Maybe it's because the giant Buddha is facing the Baolian Temple. Seen from below, the Buddha closed his eyes slightly and meditated, as if looking at the people who came to pay their respects. What is even more amazing is that there are always some white clouds floating behind the giant Buddha. I don't know whether it was that day or after.
The giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven is more than 30 meters high, all made of copper, which is very weighty. Built in 1993. There are also Sakyamuni's relics and some famous calligraphy and painting under the Buddha. The giant Buddha itself does not need tickets, but you have to go to Baolian Temple to eat fast food before you can visit the museum under the giant Buddha.
Next to the giant Buddha, there are some statues of Warawako, which are much inferior to the giant Buddha. The scenery around the giant Buddha is really great. Behind it is the South China Sea, with a mountain beside it. On the mountain, there are auspicious clouds around the top of the mountain, which really looks like a painting.
Compared with the giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven, there is nothing to see in the opposite Baolian Temple. After all, I'm not a Buddhist and I don't know much about it, but the vegetarian food there is definitely worth a try. The standard four dishes and one soup for two people are cheap and delicious. Buddhists can try it. I left here this afternoon because of the limited time.
Although I only played for half a day this time, I basically visited the Giant Buddha in the Temple of Heaven. I feel that this place is very suitable for self-cultivation friends.
