Lantau Island...another Buddha!!!

Besides my phobia of water, I also have a phobia of heights. Today's trip was to Lantau Island (which is the same island that houses the HK International Airport). To see the big buddha in Hong Kong, one can take a long 25 minute cable car, called Ngong Ping 360 (昂坪360), to the peak.

To be at the foot of the big buddha, one has to climb 268 steps. If you know your Chinese, the number "268" sounds like "easy to continaully be rich". I am so out of shape...

After the big buddha, more shopping...

Dear Schu,

I would like to ask for your permission to use your photo in terms of the Big Buddha one in the following link:

The photo would not be used for any commercial use and would only be used for my Eportfolio in the AiDA Exam Course. It would be much appreciated if this is possible. If not, sorry for the inconvenience caused.
