Bex and Ian's Big Adventure
I visited the Giant Buddha and Po Lin Monastery on Lautau, very much like this postcard!) The Buddha is the largest sitting bronze statue in the world, standing at 26m tall, and sits on a giant lotus pad. You get a bus to the top of a mountain, then climb 250 steps to reach the statue, which is actually a mini museum and memorial, and you can walk inside the Buddha and walk around the Lotus pad almost at the very top of the statue (slightly surreal but still amazing)
There are lots of statues just like this around the Buddha and the Monastery - more details to follow!
