Tired of the metropilis? Take the metro to Lantau Island! All aroud Hong Kong there's big and small island with wild nature and awesome beaches. And that's maybe the best thing about Hong Kong, huge metropolis with so much wild nature around it!
I decided to visit Lantau Island for my last morning, and see the biggest outdoor Buddah in the world....
To get to the top of the montain you must take a 20 minutes ride funicular than takes you to a quite cool panoramic trip...
Or you can take the stairs!
The Buddah sitting on top of the Island
There's a little village at the edge of the temple
With a Ming dinasty Subway...
...and a Qing dinasty Starbucks
In case you feel like walking today
Next to the temple, there was a little monks' monastery. It just makes you feel so relax and in peace with the world walking around it. Sometimes we ran so fast everywhere we forget to stop and enjoy the beautiful big and small things that sorrounds us. What's the point in running all your life if then you don't take your time to even look where you are going? And then you might just realized you missed what you were looking for just because you were only focused on how fast you were running...
The sign said "fun walk"....looks like a "creepy walk" to me...
Past the raping site, I reached the "Wisdom Path"
Time to go back to chaos!
Casually on that day in Hong Kong the Asia Game Show convention was taking place. So I HAD to go, but I'll avoid posting all the picture...
Lots and lots of Cosplay
And for the gran finale, HK island by night
Not willing to give up, I went back to Victoria Peak. I had to see the skyline from above...
Totally worth it
I'll also remember HK for it's awesome weird drinks, like this pinapple beer in a can
Skyline time
A few fishermans
It has been one of the most intense, tiring, spectacular day of my life. I've been on the top of an Island to see a giant Buddah, I've been to the top of a peak and admired a breathtaking skyline view, and finally I've been on a ferry than gave me this view as a last present from Hong Kong
