Hong Kong Adventures: The Big Buddha (Part I)

Our visit to Big Buddha was so incredible we are going to make this a two part recap. :-) First up, the cable cars. We took the bus to Tung Chung station, located about 15 minutes from our apartment building. We bought our tickets and were ready to go! Here is Daniel getting ready to board the cars:

Once we left the station, we were guided slowly across the water and through the mountains of Hong Kong. Ok, I will admit I was a little scared, hanging by a wire above the water and into the mountains. But it was such an incredible view of the city behind us and then the mountains that I would definitely do it again.

We saw people fishing in the water below us:

And about 25 minutes into our ride, we spotted the Buddha in the distance!
