The Big Buddha is a large bronze statue located on Lantan Island, Hong Komg. It's known as the world's tallest outdoor state.
The Buddha is 34 meters tall, weights 250 tones. It was formed out of 202 separate pieces of bronze, inside the statue there is a strong steel framework to support the heavy load and wind presure.
The Buddha does not only attractes Buddhists to pray for. If you are not religious on Buddhism, you will also be attracted by it. One of the main attractions is that, after you have climbed 268 steps and circled the platform ( looks like lotus ) where the Buddha sits, you will be attracted by its' fantastic scenery, you will also feel very peaceful and relaxed.
Today the Big Buddha becomes one of the popular tourists destination in Hong Kong, no matter whether you believe in Buddhism or not.
