Buddha


Last night we caught the Ferry across the harbour and watched the "light show" from the water. Every night at 8 o'clock, heaps of buildings light up in different colours and have lasers and spotlights going all at the same time. Looks cool, but must waste soooo much power.

Today we caught the cable car up to the Big Buddha on Lan Tau island. Apparently its the biggest outside one in the world. It's made of bronze, and sits on top of a hill in a monastery. The cable car took about 20 minutes to get up... but theres a track you can walk up which is pretty gruelling (steep mountain terrain), and looks like it would take a serious walker all day. I'll do it next time. It's mostly forest and jungle, and looks awesome to trek through... there might be monkeys...
