The Grand room dining area in our hotel has some rather grand windows facing the boardwalk.

On on our way to the cable car ride to Lantau Island.

*****
About to catch the cable car to Lantau island to see the Big Buddha.






More than one way to get across the island and up to the Buddha.
Below: a hiking path.
One can get to the Buddha from Hong Kong Island by cable car, bus, or bus and hike (if one is up for a full day hike.)

The view below.




The Buddha coming into view, in the distance.

So many beautiful plants.
