Today we went to Lantau Island to see the majestic Po Lin Buddha, who's sitting on top of a hill (more than 250 steps up) facing south. Inside the Buddha is a white (aka bone) relic. We learned that there are three kinds of relics - white (bone), black (hair), and red (flesh).
Anita Mui (may she rest in peace) rests inside the Buddha statue.
We had vegetarian food at the monastery. We got a lot of food and it tastes good.
Lantau Island offers a scenic nature and is a beautiful contrast to the noisy and smelly concrete inner city of Hong Kong.
