After 3 years in Hong Kong, The Sawin Family finally made it up to the Big Buddha. My nephew and I went a while ago, but this time it was the whole family. We braved the cable car and didn’t die… which was nice. Since I last went, it is now much more commercialized with Ngong Ping Village. They even had a Starbucks. Crazy.

That Buddha HAS to be the coolest thing in Hong Kong that no one wanted to take me to see.
Wow, you are not kidding! That wasn’t all there when I visited a few years ago before the cable car was built! It was quite the drive to get out there. 🙂
