This photo of the week was taken from inside the Po Lin Monastery in the town of Ngong Ping on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. From the doorway you can see the Tian Tan Buddha or ‘Big Buddha’ in the distance.
A 25-minute journey via cable car took us over the mountains and sea to reach Ngong Ping. Although we only explored the area for an afternoon, we could have easily spent the entire day there, marveling at the different sights and hiking the nearby trails. I was amazed at the grandiosity of the Big Buddha and the colors and ornate details of the Po Lin monastery. Completely surrounded by the trees, mountains and sea, the area is breathtaking.
