Very cool place! You have to climb the 268 steps to the bronze statue Tian Tan Buddha. It is one of the largest bronze statues in the world. Before 2007 it was the largest seated Buddha in the world. The Po Lin Monastery has a beautiful and serene setting in the hills of Lantau Island.

It is beautiful and very peaceful place, just do not go in the high season as even in the low season at the end of the day it was very packed with hundreds of people trying to get off the mountain.
