Tuesday, Jan 31 - This guy is big, the biggest Buddha in the world, sitting on the top of a mountain on nearby Lantau Island. The Buddha is erected by the monastary on the mountain, which is a large complex of buildings with 23 monks, supported by donations from its supporters. Many come here to pray and burn incense. We got here on a tour bus, traveling through tunnels and over the largest suspension bridge in the world, built to withstand winds of almost 180 mph created by typhoons. The monastary is in the middle of a national park where they had to spray top soil and seeds on the native granite from helicopters to create vegetation.
