Today (Thursday) we started our day by setting off sightseeing, we'd just made it out of our hotel when we saw a snake!!!! A real life, wild snake! He was inside one of the local map boards and looked like a toy!
After our exciting start we got the bus (very unexciting) up to see the Golden Buddha on top of the mountain in Ngong Ping. There were a fair few steps up to the top but once we got there the views were panoramic - well worth the burning throats!! It was amazing to think something so big and heavy stood right at the top of this mountain.
After visiting the Buddha, we looked around the Po Lin Monastery which was full of ornate, gold, Chinese artwork. There were lots of people lighting incense and worshipping. There was a tree called the 'Bodhi Tree' where legend says whatever you wish for under the tree will come true. Anyone won the lottery???! We then took the cable car over Hong Kong - again, the views were absolutely stunning!
After a day of sightseeing, we returned to our quiet little paradise - Mui Wo.
