Ngong Ping: picturesque plateau on Lantau Island provides enlightening spiritual home to Big Buddha statue
Written by South China Morning Post ( Morning Studio )
Ngong Ping plateau, at the foot of Lantau Island’s Lantau Peak, is the ideal Hong Kong setting for a spiritual walk to experience Buddhist culture and the beauty of nature. It’s home to the 115-year-old Po Lin Monastery, featuring temples and halls with designs inspired by Song (960–1279), Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasty architecture — and the iconic giant Big Buddha bronze statue. Hike in the hills above for a bird’s-eye view of the plateau, marvel as you wander through a master Chinese calligrapher’s enlightening ‘Heart Sutra’ installation, and enjoy a breathtaking cable car ride, offering stunning Lantau Island and Tung Chung Bay sea views.
