Buddha
Statue
The
eyes, lips, incline of the head and even the right hand raised to
deliver a blessing to all,combine to lend great depth of character
and dignity to this extraordinary statue, whose very glance brings
calm and introspection to those who look into those seemingly all-seeing
eyes.
The
grand Buddha is made of bronze and was built in China using the
most advanced technology. The bell inside the Buddha is controlled
by computers and rings 108 times during the day symbolizing the
escape of the so-called 108 troubles of mankind. |

Tsing
Ma Bridge
Tsing
Ma Bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge. If a particularly
severe typhoon struck Hong Kong and the Bridge had to be closed
to road traffic, the Airport Express would still be able
to get through in either direction.
Every
year many millions of people use the Bridge without actually getting
a close-up view of this modern day engineering marvel. A viewing
platform north of the Bridge on Tsing Yi provides excellent views
of the Bridge.
