The most appetising snack available at the Zhongshan ferry terminal Grape? Blackcurrant? About to get on the cable car for Nong Ping! On the cable car, en route to Lantau Island.. Very. VERY. High. MUCH better snack before my tour – noodle pockets filled with minced fish, drenched in soy sauce. They LOOK like daffodils! The beginning of the South China Sea. Buddha from the distance. This is only the SECOND largest Buddha in Asia! Tai O, the fishing village on Ngong Ping. More of Tai O. I love the Chinese characters for “Beware” – the first two translate as “Small heart”! A dog protecting his houseboat home. Promenade from Tai O. Live fish in tubs, dried fish hanging. The fellow in the red shirt is cutting chunks out of (what I think) is a whole octopus, and serving them. In case you want to get your photo taken with the desiccated carcass of a shark. Shrine to Buddha just off the main road in Tai O. Tai O. I love this: The tree has been planted and tethered to grow over the bench. There’s a whole courtyard like this. The promenade on the way to the Buddha. One of the Twelve Heavenly Generals. The monastery. The Buddha from the bottom of the 280 steps to see him. The monastery from the top of the peak. I LOVE THESE TREES. TREES. One of the six Devas around Buddha. Yet more trees. I can’t get over how utterly lush it is here. I COULDN’T BELIEVE THIS. This was THE shop we went to for slurpees growing up in Calgary. In Canada, they’ve all closed down! Spread the word:TweetMoreEmailLike this:Like Loading...
