Hong Kong Park - Tea house & Big Buddha
Of course the day we planned as a paragliding day turned out to be rainy and cold so we had to move on to plan b.
From the tea house we headed up to see the Big Buddha which is located on a mountain top on Lantau island about 45 minutes outside of the city. Once on the island, there a few different ways to get to the top of the mountain but the most interesting route is to take a cable car for 25min to the top. It was misty and cold when we got into the cable car at the bottom and as we climbed up the mountain we were enveloped in a cloud.
By the time we got to the top of the never-ending stairs to the Buddha the clouds had cleared and it warmed up considerably. Overall a very cool experience that I would highly recommend.
Hong Kong Park - Lock Chau tea house was recommended to my by my friend Gulay who was recently in Hong Kong. They do a small tea ceremony at the table when you order and also serve amazing vegetarian dim sum. Kingsley ordered the "colorful tea" and I ordered a jasmine green tea. Both very modest selections as there were cups of tea on the menu for HK $10,000!

We emerged from the cloud to catch a glimpse of the giant Buddha.
