We stayed in Hong Kong for two days after my conference was over. On the first day, we traveled by train with a work colleague to Lantau Island. One of the big tourist events is to take a glass bottom gondola to see the Big Buddha.
They say 40% of Hong Kong is part of a National Park. I don't know why everyone is so concentrated in a small area of the islands. I'm sure access to public transportation dictates where people can live.
The gondola was interesting for a while, but the trip was very long.
It felt very Gorillas in the Mist.
Eventually we made it to the top where there is a little village of shops & restaurants.
Then, you reach the stairs leading to the Big Buddha.
Not quite a postcard worthy day.
But, the surrounding areas were very pretty.
We debated renting a taxi to take a tour of the island, but ultimately decided to head back to explore Kowloon Island.
