Nong Ping also referred as The Big Buddha is a must visit for every tourist travelling to Hong Kong. It is one of the most popular places to visit in Hong Kong besides The Peak, Harbour. Tsim Tsa Sui to name a few. To reach The Big Buddha one needs to get to Tung Chung Station located on the Lantau Island and walk for 2 minutes to the cable car starting point in order to reach the The Big Buddha and sit on the picturesque journey to The Big Buddha or hike up your way through lush green mountains to The Big Buddha. You have three ways to reach Tung Chung Station from any part of Hong Kong. You can get there by the well connected Metro network of Hong Kong (which is the starting point / ending point of the Orange Line) which would be the fastest and the cheapest way to get there or choose the bus option which would be the most time consuming way to reach or take a taxi to the Cable Car Station which could cost you anything close to HKD 350 from the city centre. One must be also conscious of the fact that Hong Kong has three different Taxis which are allowed to travel only in specific areas designated to them so the best option would be to use Uber (which generally turns out to be a bit cheaper than the local taxis) - a lot people get lucky as they get to travel in a Tesla if you select the XL option from the Uber app though the cost of it would be a bit higher than the lowest option.
One could visit the Big Buddha even if you are in transit at Hong Kong and have 2 hours to spare. Hong Kong offers around 170 plus countries passport holders to obtain Visa on Arrival facilities at Hong Kong port of Entries at no cost. One could take taxi from the airport to Tung Chung Station which should take approximately 10 minutes to reach.
If you choose the cable car (which is a four to six seater) option you have a choice of cable cars, Either you take a normal cable car or choose the Glass Bottom cable car (not recommended for the faint hearted) which is strongly recommended. On route you can see the beautiful sea below and the lush green mountains. Or you could choose to hike which has a nice well paved path and can be done by kids also but would take much longer to reach compared to the Cable Car. Once you get off the cable car you need to walk for approximately 5 minutes surrounded with local hawkers selling some interesting souvenirs of Hong Kong before you reach the bottom of the steps to The Big Buddha. The climb is a bit steep and the not so fit people would need to take a break before they reach the top. But once you get the top it is really mesmerising and You will also understand why it is referred as The Big Buddha. One could take a circle around The Big Buddha and enter the prayer room and then return back via the cable car.
One must keep in mind to always check the weather conditions in Hong Kong before venturing out as it is a typhoon prone region and hence may need to carry Umbrellas or some rain...

Bilamana sempat mengunjungi Hongkong, jangan sampai terlewatkan berwisata ke Tian Tan Buddha. Sebuah Buddha raksasa, di Lantau, Hongkong.
Tian Tan Buddha, juga dikenal sebagai Big Buddha, adalah patung perunggu besar Buddha Sakyamuni. Patung ini terletak di Ngong Ping, Pulau Lantau, di Hong Kong. Patung ini terletak di dekat Vihara Po Lin.
Tian Tan Buddha adalah pusat utama agama Buddha di Hong Kong, dan juga merupakan tujuan wisata yang populer. Patung ini diberi nama Tian Tan Buddha karena dasarnya adalah model Altar Surga dan Bumi Gunung Tian Tan. Patung ini termasuk dalam salah satu dari lima patung Buddha besar di Tiongkok.
Patung ini berupa Buddha yang duduk bersila pada bunga teratai di atas sebuah altar tiga lantai. Di Sekitarnya ada enam patung perunggu kecil yang dikenal sebagai “persembahan dari enam dewa” yang melambangkan persembahan bunga, dupa, pelita, minyak, buah, dan musik kepada Buddha.
Enam patung ini juga melambangkan Enam Kesempurnaan (Sad Paramita): kedermawanan, moralitas, kesabaran, semangat, meditasi, dan kebijaksanaan. Semua faktor ini yang diperlukan untuk mencapai pencerahan.
Patung Tian Tan setinggi 34 meter (112 kaki), berat lebih dari 250 ton, dan dibangun dari potongan-potongan perunggu. Selain komponen eksterior, ada kerangka baja yang kuat di dalam untuk mendukung beban berat.
Konon kabarnya patung ini dapat dilihat dari Pulau Macau yang jauh pada hari yang cerah. Pengunjung harus mendaki 268 langkah untuk mencapai patung Buddha, meskipun lokasi ini juga dilengkapi dengan jalan berkelok-kelok kecil bagi kendaraan untuk mengakomodasi kaum difabel.
Patung Buddha dalam posisi tangan kanan dinaikkan, yang melambangkan penghapusan penderitaan. Sementara tangan kiri digeletakkan terbuka di pangkuan melambangkan kedermawanan. Patung Tian Tan Buddha menghadap ke utara, sangat unik dibandingkan dengan patung-patung Buddha besar yang biasanya menghadap selatan.
Di bawah patung ada ruangan tiga lantai yang konon menyimpan relik Buddha. Di dalam ruangan tersebut terdapat beberapa peninggalan ajaran Buddha. Namun di dalam ruangan ini tidak diperbolehkan mengambil foto.
Selain itu juga terdapat lonceng besar diukir bertuliskan gambar Buddha. Lonceng ini dirancang untuk berbunyi setiap tujuh menit, 108 kali sehari, melambangkan pelepasan 108 kekotoran batin manusia.
Tian Tan Buddha dibangun awal tahun 1990, dan selesai pada tanggal 29 Desember 1993. Ketika patung ini diresmikan, para bhiksu dari seluruh dunia diundang untuk upacara pembukaan.
Pengunjung berdatangan dari Tiongkok, Hongkong, Taiwan, India, Jepang, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapura, Sri Lanka, dan Amerika Serikat semua ambil bagian dalam proses peresmiannya.
Anda bisa berkunjung ke Vihara Po Lin dan Big Buddha pada pukul 10.00 sampai 17.45 waktu setempat. Biaya untuk masuk dan naik ke patung Buddha sebesar 38 dollar Hongkong (sekitar Rp 65 ribu). Dengan harga segitu Anda mendapatkan air kemasan dan es krim yang dapat ditukar di atas. Pengunjung dapat mencapai lokasi dengan bus, taksi atau gondola dari daerah Tung Chung. Harga gondola yang standar bolak-balik adalah 165 dollar Hongkong (Rp 282 ribu) dan kristal 255 dollar Hongkong (Rp 436 ribu). Dari Tung Chung naik gandola sekitar 30 menit. Sampai di sana akan melewati perkampungan Ngong Ping sebelum memasuki area gerbang langit menuju ke Patung Buddha.
Di perkampungan Ngong Ping ini ada atraksi multimedia “Walking with Buddha” yang menceritakan sejarah Pangeran Siddhartha sampai menjadi Buddha, dan inti ajaran Buddha.
Jadi jangan lewatkan kesempatan untuk berkunjung dan berwisata...
