We messed around quite a bit in HK, but a few sample highlights are below...We rode the "Ngong Ping" (pronounced Ong Ping) 360 cable car/gondola to the BIG BUDDHA. He's really big! He's the largest bronze Buddha in the region. There are 268 very steep steps leading up. Christina and I went halfway up, but the rest of our party made it the whole way!!!
This is serene Buddha. Not the fat, happy Buddha with the belly, which Mark prefers.
There's also a cute village where you can shop and eat and just enjoy yourself. It was SOOOOO HOT that day, though. I don't think it has been as hot since! We lived on Gellatto.
Afterwards, we went to Tai-O, a little fishing village where you can really feel the energy and lifestyle of the native Hong Kong people as they earn their living fishing.
There are quite a few restrictions on fishing, though. From upper left to lower right from the sign above -1) No Suction Devices
2) No Explosives
3) No Dredging
4) No Toxic Substances
5) No Electrocution
(Hardly seems fair....)
...but still they manage to catch a few and dry them out inside the house.
Max Loooovvveeed the food!!!!!Thanks for coming, Sarah and Max!!! We love you!
