Cheung Chau Island Hong Kong

My friend always invites me to stay with them in this high-rise community whenever I am on vacation so, one time, I decided to take pictures of the area and observe how carefully these are planned. Each community caters to young and old alike, as you can see in the pictures.
A pleasant day trip out of Hong Kong involves a visit to the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, the largest outlying island in Hong Kong. Getting there requires taking a ferry from Hong Kong Island to Mui Wo, or Silver Mine Bay, a small seaside village on Lantau Island. A bus then transports visitors through the countryside to the monastery.The monastery was founded in 1906 by three Buddhist monks visiting from Jiangsu province on the Chinese mainland. It initially consisted of a small hut and was called the Da Maopeng Monastery. In 1924, the name was changed to the Po Lin (meaning "Precious Lotus") Monastery. Since then, several buildings have been added to the complex. The main temple, called the Great Hall of Treasure, contains three bronze statues of Buddha, representing his past, present, and future. Other Buddhist relics housed in the main temple include a 2,205-pound...
The Tian Tan Buddha towers over the buildings of the Po Lin Monastery and can be seen from most areas in the complex. On a clear day, it is also supposedly visible from as far away as Macau. With a height of 112 feet (34 meters), it was the world's largest outdoor statue of a seated Buddha until 2007. The statue symbolizes the harmonious relationship between man and nature, and people and religion.The Tian Tan Buddha was built between 1990 and 1993, and was completed on the anniversary of the date of Buddha's enlightenment. Weighing 250 tons (226,796 kilograms), the statue was constructed using 202 separate sheets of bronze that were attached to an interior steel frame that supports the structure.The statue is seated on a lotus throne on top of a three-platform altar. It faces north, which is unusual in that all other outdoor Buddha statues in China face south. The main statue is...
Near Yuen Long in the New Territories are several ancient walled villages. The most noteworthy is Kat Hing Wai, whose 400 residents are mainly elderly widows. All the residents have the same last name, Tang, because the village was established by the Tang Clan, and only people of the Tang Clan are therefore allowed to live here. The people are Puntis, a group from southern China who were among the first to settle in what would one day become Hong Kong. (Many mistakenly believe that the people are Hakka). They speak the Cantonese dialect of Weitou. The village was established in the mid-1400s. However, because there were many bandits, rival clans, and even wild tigers in the area, a protective wall 18 feet (six meters) thick and measuring 328 feet long and 295 feet wide (100 meters long and 90 meters wide) was constructed in the 1600s by Tang Chue-yin and Tang Chik-kin. Later four cannon...

Brothers & sisters, Don't forget your Sunday Service while travelling! There're many churches all over Hong Kong, Kowloon & New Territories offering Sunday Mass. Check out the Catholic Diocese web site for detail information.
To get to Big Buddha you have to take a cable car. There are two types: 1. Usual and 2. Crystal with glass instead of usual metal floor. They differ in price also. But my recommendations are to chose crystal cabin and have an awesome trip to Buddha. Cable car goes over some part of the city then mountains, then sea (yes!!!!!) the mountains again very close to airport so you can see airplanes landing and departing and then mountains to the end. It was kind of pretty cold inside capin since of the weather but the view is just amazing. Not really scary.=)
If you visit Times Square in Hong Kong ( I don't know why you would. A Gucci shop is the same in any country ) and you fancy a coffee and cake or snack try the Coffee Corridor. It is down number 28 Russell street and is a oasis in a sea of noise.It is quiet there, with delicate background music and the coffee is to die for! The food is all made in front of you. no pre-made sandwiches getting stale in a cooler.It has free wi fi and an outside area for you smokers and a toilet. It can only seat around 12 people and is really small and studenty. Staff are very friendly and did I mention the coffee? Smooth and dark, The best I've had in HK to date. It was so good that I had a second with a croissant with butter and jam. The jam had huge lumps of strawberry in it.Entrance is hard to find so that is the picture. Upstairs is an Adult Shop for those that are interested. (One has to explore...
Yeung Hau temple is one of the six temples in this area dedicated to the deity of Hau Wong. While the exact date of construction cannot be traced, it is believed to be several hundred years old. This temple is a simple structure, divided into three bays housing different statues.
The Nan Lian Garden is located along the green line on Kowloon Side. It's very tranquil and relaxing and good for an afternoon stroll when you have some down time.When my husband and I visited it wasn't very crowded and doesn't require a lot of time to walk through.There is no entrance fee to walk through and is great for some photo opps. The view of the towering buildings behind is what makes it really cool as well. IT's hard to imagine somewhere like this in such an environment.
