How to Find Hong Kong's BIG BUDDHA!

Рет қаралды 4,304

Күн бұрын

Traveling to the far reaches of Hong Kong to take in PO Lin Monastery the Land of the 10,000 Buddhas and to see one of the largest outdoor Buddha in existence today. It is on the top of a mountain and believe me the steps are real and many. There is no fee to get in but at the end of the metro line and an hour on a bus brings you to one of the most remote places in Hong Kong.

I love the natural beauty side of HK, Lantau and Sai Kung in particular, hiking there, especially during the cooler season, is always lots of fun. Even the Hong Kong island itself has a lot to offer in that regard.

Hey friend, you were in Hong Kong. I just live down the mountain of the Buddha, used to walk up to the Buddha with my family in the weekend. Too bad we can't catch a beer or two. Next time. 😊😊

Your views on HK are so so true . That's why many hongkongers go to Shenzhen to spend their holidays, and I , as a retiree, move to live in Shenzhen, to enjoy the convenience there, the safety there , the fresh air there with so many electric vehicles on the road and to witness the rejuvenation of my country there.

They go because it is cheaper. Full stop. I am one of those people on occasion. But i prefer Zhuhai over Shenzhen. With that said it is one thing to visit and another to live. To live in SZ which I have to say HK is a more honest city and the people make the city.

@@dane11Shenzhen is a big city with a population doubled the size of hongkong and a size more than double of hongkong. In every big city in the world, there are scammers and there are good people. I have great pity for you for unable to deal with the scammers. As far as I have experienced, the merchants in Shenzhen are very honest with the payment transactions of their customers. But of course there's no guarantee If you chose to visit illegal shops in the very low end area.

@dane11 Ай бұрын

@@tvguy4600 I am referring to quality of service. The honesty part is not relative to payments either as I go to zhuhai. Its the quality of the workers and people. I do not see the rudeness in HK but I know it is there. My view on the honesty part is the hypocrisy, shortcuts of business in SZ. To which last saturday I was in Zhuhai. Families from fhe north were down and kids were collecting water and running around the breakfast lounge shooting each other with the water guns. I was the only one to say something or see something wrong in it. Its stuff like that. And it was a resort. Lack of consideration.

There are so many Buddha temples in mainland China. Why in the heck would your daughter want to go to the most expensive one in HK!!?? Your daughter is weird Kirk! You’re right the locals in HK are not friendly. It doesn’t matter if the usual excuse is that they are busy trying to make a living so they’re stressed out. Being Nasty 🤢 is being nasty and even a big city in New York the people are a lot friendlier. Anyways it Looks like you had fun spending your last moments with your daughter before she heads back to Canada.

I had never heard of this Buddha before. I fly into Hong Kong, but now I cross into the mainland right away. No time for Hong Kong anymore. Funny story, I have a bald head and somewhat of a beer belly. My Chinese friends would make fun of me calling me Buddha. The last time in China I arrived with a white beard. My friends started calling me Santa Claus. I can't win. :(

But they still prefer to live in HK over Mainland. Unhappy faces are you judging it by this video or general? Its tough to say. I usually think of when people say this they are unhappy themselves and their own situation. Course your “somewhat” correct but consider your credentials before judging overall.
