It is almost 8 years since I last stepped into Hong Kong. The last visit was a on-the-way visit - a working trip dated back to 2010. This time, I was there with mum, and we were 100% as tourist! Hong Kong is not a 'new' place to me, but it's always close to me, probably because of the relatives staying there and more uniquely, the common language that we speak - Cantonese! This time, it's also a mother-daughter bonding trip! In this trip, we went to places that I had not explored much in the past. In fact, it's a very MTR-intensive trip - we got to all the places by MTR! There's always something new to learn about this place each time I come :)

Lantau Island 大屿山：@ Ngong Ping 昂坪 & the Big Buddha 天坛大佛

This buildings in this village were set up for obvious reasons - for the tourists - a spread of eateries and souvenir shops. A short walk led us to the Big Buddha.



It looked the same - sitting tall and looked so calm and serene.

The Po Lin Monastery, located a stone throw away from where the Buddha was, where we had our vegetarian lunch.
