For anyone going to Hong Kong, I think the journey to Lantau Island was unmissable. The main attraction of the island was, none other than the Giant Buddha himself. I think all the walking was enough to burn off whatever extra calories I've put on. Despite the hazy weather conditions that day, the view was still fabulous with its challenging walking trails for walkers to enjoy.
Look how peaceful and serenity the Buddha looks.
Happy Photo Hunters and Happy walking folks!**********************************

This is a cool Buddha statue. The next beautiful one but with the Goddess of Mercy by the same sculptor is in Penang. :)

Criz,
you mean the one at Kek Lok Si? yup, it is truly impressive and I bet it will look even more stunning when the statue is completed.

Great shots and what a beautiful city to walk in. Happy weekend.
People are scared to visit HK now as there's a confirmed H1N1 flu patient. :(
I need to rub that budha's belly,..lol. Great shots.
Beautiful photos!
This is perfect for the photohunt.
An attraction that's a must to visit. Though the long flight of steps out don't exactly appeal to many :P
