Tian Tan Buddha from Ngong Ping

Tian Tan Buddha from Ngong Ping

Ngong Ping village (in its current form at least) is an attraction purely created to link between the new cable car (from Tung Chung) and the somewhat older Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. Previously the only way visitors could get to the buddha was via a long bus ride - the new cable car is absolutely fantastic (although any pictures taken from within are somewhat ruined by the reflective windows), and this shot was taken walking through the tourist village from the cable car.
