Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) - Best Place to Travel

today we’re taking you on a tour of oneof asia’s most dynamic cities: hong kong (香港)! yes, this is a city of modern skyscrapersand futuristic architecture, but if you scratch beneath the surface and spend a little timehere, you’ll discover pockets of tranquility in the form of incense-filled temples andbonsai gardens, a delicious foodie scene that


Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha)

Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha), features budget friendly michelin-stared restaurants,mountainous islands that are an easy day trip away, antique markets full of treasure, anda dazzling skyline you won’t soon forget. without further ado, let us show you 25 thingsto do in hong kong: let’s kick things off at the peak tram,where the steep 7 minute ride to victoria

peak (山頂纜軚) gives you some of thebest views of the city. so we just finished riding the tram to victoriapeak (太平山 - 扯旗山) and now we're enjoying the free views. we could be paying more and going up to thesky terrace but we refused because the free views are good enough. yeah, and if you're willing to walk out alittle bit from the complex you'll find that you know the crowds slowly dissipate. and hey we're just by ourselves right now. at 552 meters, the peak (太平山 - 扯旗山)is the highest mountain on hong kong island

(香港島) and its location offers vast viewsof towering skyscrapers, victoria harbour and kowloon (九龍) off in the distance. for more postcard worthy views of hong kong(香港), we also visited victoria harbour (維多利亞港) at sunset and then watchedas the skies turned from amber to fiery orange. another event you should definitely make timefor is the symphony of lights (幻彩詠香æ±ÿ), which is a daily music and light show thatencompasses both sides of the harbour. skyscrapers dazzle with blinking lights andlazer beams, while everyone oooh’s and aaah’s from the waterfront. you can watch the show from either kowloon(九龍) or hong kong island (香港島),

but i personally prefer being on kowloon sincehong kong island has the iconic skyline. we are currently in the nan lian garden (南蓮園池)which is right across from the chi lin nunnery (志蓮淨苑). and again like most parks here in hong kongit is super peaceful. they have soft music playing. you can hear the birds chirping. there is beautiful flowers. there is like a little golden pagoda in themiddle of a lake. so we're going to show you all of that now.

after visiting the gardens, we crossed overto the chi lin nunnery (志蓮淨苑), which is a buddhist temple complex that dates backto the 1930s. what is perhaps most impressive is that thestructures were built out of wood but without the use of a single nail! alright guys we have three words for you! tim ho wan (添好運)! tell us all about it. what is this place? this is basically one of the best places totry dim sum in all of hong kong.

yes. it is a michelin starred restaurant yet itis affordable. so we're going to go in, we're going to ordera lot of food and we're just going to scarf down some dim sum (x點心 - 点心xx). okay. oh the joy. ready. yeah. alright guys so we just finished placing ourorder.

and this is what the menu looks like. you basically grab a pencil and you tick offthe different dishes you're interested in. the first one has already arrived. oh wow. so we got a little bit greedy because it islike three in the afternoon. we haven't had lunch yet so we ordered sevendifferent dishes and we're going to be showing you those once they arrive. first one is here and this one is the stickyrice wrapped in a lotus leaf. this is one of our favorite ones.

i love this one. so let's not waste any time. let's just start unfolding this masterpiece. wow. lots of steam rising. ooh! look at that. it is a huge leaf. it is a huge one.

and there you've got the sticky rice withchicken i believe and a nice mushroom. so we're going to be sharing this. mmmm. so good. well what do you think? i love it. he loves it. and there is more food. oh my gosh.

so i'm just going to use my hand because itis a little bit easier for me. but man these are nice and plump. everything here is plump and stuffed. they do not skimp out here. mmm. what do you think? there you have it. there is the barbecued bun. this is so fluffy.

i know. it is a lot fluffier than i remember. what about the taste? do you like it? it is really nice because it is like savoryinside but then really sweet on the exterior so you get both flavors. it is that contrast that makes it so good. so the next on the menu is one of our absolutefavorites. i believe it is called har gao and that isbasically the almost like shrimp dumplings.

yeah, they are. shrimp in a little wrapper and they are justso good. oh my gosh this is a slippery one. haha. don't burn yourself. i have a feeling it is going to be reallyhot. those are like freshly steamed. oh man. his eyes are bulging out.

that was a big bite. hahaha. so yeah it is just filled with like so muchshrimp and you just bite into it and it is juicy and it is just so flavorful and tasty. it is so plump. it is. seriously. that is the best way to describe them. just such plump pieces of shrimp.

i think it goes without saying that tim howan (添好運) is one of our favourite places for dim sum (點心 - 点心), and it’sworth seeking out if you’re ever in hong kong (香港)! so next up we're going to watch the noon daygun (午炮). and i have to admit the first time i heardabout this attraction i had no idea what it was. sam actually mentioned it to me last timewe were in hong kong like three years ago. and i just thought noon day gun (午炮) wasa name. to me it sounded like chinese.

but apparently it is a gun that they fireduring the day at noon so we're just waiting for that to happen right now. getting here is a little tricky. i wish i could give you instructions. um, basically you can probably see the excelsiorhotel behind me. the excelsior. um, you need to go down some tiny side alleyand then cross through a tunnel. um but yeah it is a little bit tricky to findit. we went into like three buildings before wefound the right place so you may have to ask

around to find it. um but yeah we're here. we're going to watch this gun be fired. woah! well sam after all of these years you finallygot to see the noon day gun again. how was it? yeah, it must have been like six or sevenyears ago that i got to experience this. well my biggest tip for this is when you comehere make sure you plug your ears just before the shot.

yes! it is some kind of loud. and it almost makes you like shake. that is how loud it is. it is really powerful. it is scary. it is a powerful blast. and it is a very short ceremony. like he just rings the bell, fires the gunand off he goes.

and then you can come in and check this placeout. for thirty minutes. you can go and take some pictures of the gunand just walk around. it is pretty cool. another fun thing to do in hong kong is toride the double decker trams (香港電軚). this was one of the earliest forms of transportationin the city, and riding them through the modern financial district feels a bit nostalgic. if you’re really looking for something memorable,you can actually hire a party tramway and celebrate with music, drink, and stellar viewsas you cruise through the city.

we are currently making our way down upperlascar row and this is the place to buy souvenirs. there is also some construction happeningso it is bit loud. but basically the street is lined with shopsthat sell really high end antiques and then on the street you have like these little tableswhere you have old trinkets and just things that would make really cool souvenirs butalso have a history behind them. so it is worth checking out for sure. i haven't picked up anything but i do seethings that interest me. it is just i don't have a home and i don'thave room in my suitcase. if antiques aren’t really your thing andyou’re looking for something a bit more

modern, causeway bay (隅鑼灣) is full ofmalls, department stores, and fashion boutiques. so today we are going in search of free viewsof hong kong . always like free stuff. so we're here at central plaza (中環廣場)and apparently on the forty sixth floor there is a skydeck. so we're going to be checking this out forthe first time. we've never done this in hong kong before. let's do it. so look at this. we get three hundred and sixty degree viewsof hong kong from this building and no one

is here. and it is free. more people should know about this place. seriously guys. free views of hong kong all to yourself. so this is a bit of a quirky attraction tobe listing, but not every city offers the opportunity to ride a series of escalatorsinstead of walking up hills. the central–mid-levels escalator (中環至博山自動扶梯)is the longest covered escalator system in the world, so it’s worth experiencing atleast once.

just know that there is no escalator goingdown, so you’ll have to take the stairs. man mo temple (文武å»ÿ) dates back to 1847and it is dedicated to the god of literature and the god of war. for a little trivia, this temple was oncepopular with students looking to succeed in the civil examinations of imperial china. we are currently inside the man mo temple(文武å»ÿ) and it is thick with incense in the air. i don't know if you can actually see it. but is almost burns your eyes a little bityet it looks magical at the same time.

so it is a weekend in hong kong. tell us what are we up to? yeah, it is time for some nightlife in hongkong. we're at lan kwai fong and this is probablythe most popular nightlife area in the city. we're not exactly going to paint the townred but i think we'll get a beer or maybe a glass of wine. so i'm the kind of person who would ratherbe at home in bed reading a book on a sunday night but apparently that is considered lame. so somebody insisted we check out the nightlife.

that is all kinds of nerdy. all kinds of nerdy. so here we are. the funny thing is it is like seven thirtypm right now and we're super early. it is going to get hopping around nine orten. by which time we'll be back. we'll be sleeping by then. back in the hotel. but anyways cheers.

what did you get? ah, i got red wine. and i got gin and tonic. salut. if you’re looking to get out of the cityand a little closer to nature, you can ride the aerial tramway (昂坪360) to lantau island. once you’re there you can visit the po linmonastery (寶蓮禪寺), and also visit the tian tan buddha (天壇大佛), better knownas the big buddha. so one thing to keep in mind is that if youvisit the buddha in the morning it is backlit.

so if you're a photographer and you want tobe able to take some good shots from the front you may have better luck in the afternoon. otherwise this is what you'll get. time for a little update. yeah, so we've had a busy day exploring hongkong. now it is time to go back to our apartmentand this is our favorite way of getting around the city. is taking the star ferry (天æ˜ÿ小輪). star ferry (天æ˜ÿ小輪).

in my opinion it is like iconic transportationin hong kong. you've got to do it. it is cheap it is fun. you can cross kowloon to hong kong islandor vice versa. and it is just something we look forward todoing every time we visit hong kong. and the views. if museums are your thing, you can alwayspop into the hong kong museum of history (香港歷史博物館) in tsim sha tsui, which looks at hong kong’shistory and cultural heritage. the permanent exhibition is free of charge.

so right now we're visiting hong kong park(香港公園) and this is one of the coolest parks in the city because you are surroundedby skyscrapers yet you can hear the sounds of nature. they have streams and waterfalls and you canhear the birds chirping and there is palm trees swaying so it feels very peaceful butyou can still see that hong kong is a very modern city and it is not that far away. inside the park they also have this huge walkthrough aviary. um and yeah they just have birds flying freely. one just nearly hit someone in the head.

and it is pretty cool. they have over six hundred birds in here. another cool park you can visit is kowloonpark (九龍公園), which offers a serene escape on the other side of the harbour. for a bit of a splurge and some sugary treats,we would recommend indulging in afternoon tea. we went to lion rock inside the royal plazahotel. alright so i'm so excited the tea is here. and we each get our own pot.

and seriously there is probably like threecups in here. and they've already poured one. yours is like the chocolate truffle? it is the chocolate mint truffle. i don't even know. the order. but it smells amazing. that seems like a bit of a fancy pants tea. yeah, it smells like melted chocolate withmint?

does it? i can't say i smell the truffle but i'm notthat familiar with truffle so. that is nice. the flavor itself isn't very strong but itis more the aroma that you get before you drink it. and like you don't need any sugar or milkwith this. it is just so good. i love the way it smells. it smells like the holidays.

we are both so giddy right now. the tower of heavenly delights has arrived. low and behold. so let's see what can we choose. so we're going to start from the top and workour way down. so we have some scones, some chips with crabmeat i think. this looks like a mini quiche and then wehave mini burgers. mini sliders. what is on the second level?

well, we'll get to that later. but first let's eat from the top alright. and i have a major sweet tooth so i'm startingwith the scone. i'm just going for it. why waste any time. so there we have it. there is the little scone. going to cut it in half and i've got somejam here. and i'm really hoping this is clotted creamand not butter.

but it might be butter. i think it may be butter. would that be the saddest thing ever? with butter. it is a little sad but i will survive. it is not england so that is okay. and then some jam. oh yeah baby. this is what i came for.

the scones that is my favorite part of thewhole afternoon tea experience. so if you don't want your scone sam i willtake it. oh, i'll have my scone. i'll gladly relieve you. no worry about that. this is like one bite. that is how it is done. so i think i have something that might bea mushroom tart. it has a very um flaky exterior and it lookslike mushrooms on top.

so there we go. i don't know if i should do it in one biteor two. all in one bite. oh my gosh that is a huge one. one bite. you can handle it sam. oh, keeping things classy. mmmmm. we'll give you a second to chew it.

and search for your words. so food doesn't go flying everywhere. right. that would be a civilized way of doing things. so if you've ever had like a thick mushroomcreamy soup before it tastes like that. and then it just aww the pastry is so butteryand flaky. and you just bite into it and it just disintegratesin your mouth. oh la lah. and you're rolling that mushroom around itis just aww that is nice.

rolling it around huh? rolling it around on your palette. and you get the idea. it was an hour of om nom noms! this evening we're taking part in sam's favoriteactivity. shopping! oh yeah. shopping. no, we're headed over to temple street nightmarket and we're just going to check it out

and see what is happening out there. the market (庙街 - å»ÿè¡—) itself stretchedfor several blocks and offered all kinds of clothes, purses, souvenirs and random knick-knacks. we also spotted some street karaoke happeningin the area. lastly, let’s talk about transportation. the most effective way to get around hongkong is by mtr (港鐵). if you’re going to be here a few days andyou don’t want to pay for individual tickets each time, you can get an octopus card (八達通)and also save on the fare. as a final piece of advice, try to avoid travellingin hong kong (香港) during rush hour.

you’ll either feel like a canned sardineon the subway, or be left behind on the platform like a beached whale because there’s nomore room. and that’s a wrap for hong kong (香港). we hope that you enjoyed this travel guideand that it gave you a few ideas of things to do and places to visit on your own trip. we know we only covered a small fraction ofeverything hong kong (香港) has to offer, so if you have any other suggestions of thingstravellers should experience, feel free to share those in the comments below. wishing you happy travels and until next time!
