Lantau Island and Tian Tan Buddha

大屿山拜

The link says it all, Tian Tan Buddha (天坛大佛), also known as the Big Buddha, it is the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. Completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping (昂坪), Lantau Island (大屿山) in HongKong. This is my third visit to the big buddha. We decided to take public transportation this time, Shen figured out that we could take the subway to DongChong (东涌) and get on Ngong Ping skyrail there. It was a long ride, I believe we were in the cable car for 30 minutes. It was foggy and chilly...Did I complain HongKong is unbearable in winter because there is no heat? 


  
The big buddha is still the same.




I took a picture of Hongkong subway on the way back, can someone tell me what "停低你至精" means?... I thought I am a Chinese? ...  



btw: Jack is right, you can see through from front to the back on the subway train, there are no partition doors in between cars.
