lantau island

the most famous place in lantau island is disneyland...what's second?

it's the po lin monastry...the place where the world's largest bronze buddha statue resides...
doesn't it look magnificent?? and in order to get to the top, we have to climb up 260 steps...i guess it's a test of patience and devotion. it's real cooling at the top and occasionally, a mist will cover the head of the buddha. the place is peaceful too...and there are tablets under the buddha. we saw 梅艳芳's tablet there.
me and the great buddha...oh man, i look bigger than the buddha here...an image-less photo with our hair flying all over the place...after the visit to the second most famous attraction on lantau island, we went to the third most famous place - tai o village.beautiful village...not at all like run-down fishing village with sampans i had in mind initially. the place is clean and well maintained...and the view is so pretty, with the sea and the sky and the mountains...there are streets full of shops selling dried seafood...this kind of shops can be seen anywhere, everywhere...and we saw a dried shark hanging in the middle of the shop!!group photo just before we left to go to the most famous attraction on lantau island - disneyland...but don't be mistaken...the school doesn't have so much money to bring us to disneyland...they only brought us to the entrance to see the fireworks...

anyway, it was a very nice trip with beautiful, natural scenery all along the way...

tomorrow is sunday...but we are all broke (i'm down to 700HKD again!!!) and tired now, hence don't think we'll be going out...besides, we need to study!! exams in about 2 weeks time only!!
