Hong Kong - Lantau Island

Lantau Island, known as "Da Yu Shan" in mandarin, is very popular for its holiday chalets/bungalows. Also, it has a temple which provides good vegetarian meals. It is a very quiet and serene place for cultivation. The air is pure and the scenery is superb. After the "Da Fuo", Big Buddha is built, the island has an additional attraction for people or tourists to visit the island. If anyone of you go to Hong Kong, I strongly feel that Lantau Island is not to be missed. It is convenient to go. It is merely a ferry ride which takes less than an hour, if I did not remember wrongly.
You need to have good stamina and strong legs to get to the top! But you would feel worthwhile by the time you get to the top. The feeling is unable to be described by words. Just a piece of advice, it is super windy at the top where the buddha statue is. Therefore, I feel that it is better contact lenses are not to be worn. I could still remember, the wind was so strong that I felt as if I was almost lifted off the grounds. I'm really not exaggerating. Experience it and you will know. :)
