Tian Tan Buddha, Bronze statue in Ngong Ping, Hong Kong.
The 34-meter-tall bronze Buddha statue sits on a lotus-shaped platform at the summit of Lantau Island, overlooking the South China Sea.
Construction of the statue began in 1990 and ended in 1993, requiring the assembly of 202 separate bronze pieces weighing a total of 250 metric tons.
The statue features six smaller bronze figures surrounding the base, each presenting symbolic offerings of flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music.
Visitors need to climb 268 steps to reach the statue, with access to the site possible through the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car or bus line 23 from Tung Chung.
Unlike traditional Buddha statues that face south, this monumental figure faces north toward mainland China and remains one of the largest seated bronze Buddhas globally.
