Big Buddha

It took almost two hours out of the city to travel to this famous Buddha on Lantau Island. It's the world's largest seated outdoor Buddha. Monks built their monastery out in these hills to escape the world. Unfortunately, people were so intrigued with this beautiful shrine that it has developed into a "must see attraction" on every tourist's itinerary.

The feeling here, however, is still quite reverent and peaceful. I found many personal moments of soft reflection, breathing in and out from the depth of my own spirituality.
