Chasing the Big Buddha✨

Getting There - tuk-tuk or Grab taxi to Mama cooking restaurant (alley for pic no 2. View) then walk following any angle you can see the Buddha Food & Restaurants - many street food vendors along the way! Taste Thailand’s sticky rice and mango or get a refreshing smoothie on the way The entire trip took about 4 hours (12k steps 😅) but totally worth it! You can also join the boat tour along the Chao Praya River it’s 200 B per person for 30 minutes #bangkoktravel #bigbuddha #trip

Big Buddha Phuket

Get yourself a bike and take a scenic ride up to the Big Buddha in Phuket. The steep winding roads make the trip enjoyable and the view once you get there is worthwhile. I went in the off season so it wasn’t busy at all and I spent about an hour walking around. Make sure you cover up your legs and shoulders when you go but if you forget to there is also a place to buy shawls outside. They have 7 minute happiness meditations for anyone who is interested or you can just walk around freely. This is something that you don’t need to book a tour for, you can easily get there on you own and spend as much time as you like. It is free to enter but they do accept donations for upkeep but it is not mandatory. #thailand #bigbuddha #tripblazers #summervacation #phuket

Tian Tan Buddha

#hongkongtrip For Buddhists and non-Buddhists, a trip to the Big Buddha Statue (Tian Tan Buddha) is a must when you are at Tung Chung. It’s located near Ngong Ping Village up the hills. You can take the land transport (bus or car) or by air (cable car). As the impending typhoon “delayed” its arrival into the island, we were very lucky that it wasn’t a rainy day nor was it too hot. Also it wasn’t very crowded and we had a leisurely climb up to the peak for close up pictures with the Buddha. It is cooler with the breeze coming in from the sea. We also toured the inside of the temple and paid our respect to Anita Mui’s tablet. Po Lam Monastery is nearby and a few steps away once you decent from the climb. They serve very good vegetarian food. #hongkong #tiantanbuddha #bigbuddha #ngongping

The Big Buddha

Another major Phuket attraction that doesn’t involve the beach is the Big Buddha. Construction of this Buddha statue began in 2004, and there is still some construction going on at the base. Since the statue is situated at the top of a hill, visitors also get a beautiful view of Phuket. There are lots of monkeys around, so do not bring food up the hill. Getting to the location can be a challenge since there is no public transportation up the hill, so you will need to haggle with taxi drivers. #thailand #phuket #bigbuddha

Scratch this off your bucket list!!! 😍🥰🥹

The Big Buddha also known as the Tian Tan Buddha is the worlds tallest and biggest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. Located on the Islands District in Hong Kong, in Ngong Pong Island. The Big Buddha is sitting on 268 stone steps with a total height of 35 meters with a lotus pedestal at the base, at a whopping 250 tons. This is an excellent achievement for modern architecture and it also provides a special cultural heritage of mankind. Getting There - You can get to the island via a 360 degree sky-view gondola ride for about 160 HKD per person, which only takes about 22 minutes. However, you will not regret this ride. You will literally be on top of the world, looking down and all around at the gorgeous scenery surrounding you in the sky. 😍Alternatively, there is a bus that goes there which takes more than an hour. Attractions - The Big Buddha, the Islands and coast line with the most beautiful colors of blue and Green that just make the trip worth it. You will see picturesque beach views as well as feel yourself on top of the highest mountains.

Just make sure you have cash on you in HKD for all of your purchases.😁 #bigbuddha #island #islandlife #islandtravel #hongkong #travel #mytripvlog #summertime #vacation #happiness

📿 Spiritual Journey at Big Buddha Phuket

#wecreate Phuket Big Buddha is a 45-metre-tall white marble statue visible from anywhere in the southern part of Phuket. This impressive landmark is seriously jaw-dropping, and offers breathtaking panoramic views from up there. There are several ways to visit the Big Buddha of Phuket: you can ride your own rented car or motorbike, use the Bolt app and and ask the driver to wait for you, or join a half-day tour. The roads to get there are very steep and windy, so I wouldn't really recommend getting there by motorbike if you are not a skilled rider. You would also need to wear suitable non-revealing attire as this is a religious landmark. 📍Address: Phuket Big Buddha, Karon, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83100, Thailand. 💲Entrance Fee: FREE! ⭐ Rating: 10/10! #phuket #bigbuddha #thailand #awesomepic

Should you visit Koh Samui, Thailand?🇹🇭

📍Koh Samui We arrived in Koh Samui on a ferry from Surat Thani. As we approached the pier, the ferry was flooded with heavy rain- so our first day & a half in Koh Samui were pretty cloudy & rainy. We tried to enjoy it nevertheless! On our last day, the sun was shining & we headed to the Wat Plai Laem temples this morning - probably the craziest ones we’ve seen! And then we decided to detach from our phones and spend the rest of the day at the beach, jumping through the HUGE waves and sunbathing🌞 Koh Samui is a total party island & very touristy - if that’s your thing, you’ll love it, if not, try Koh Tao! #southeastasia #thailand #kohsamui #bigbuddha #watplailaem #vegetarian #temple #backpacking #backpackers #travel #travelling #beach #thailandbeaches #island #travelfoodie #hippie #pizza #tuktuk #waterfalls #hiking #nature #islandhopping

Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town

My girlfriend and I booked a private car (supposedly) for 8 hours and the driver pick us up at our hotel with a mini bus! We went on to visit Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town. It was raining that day and was informed by the driver that we may not be able to see the Big Buddha because the weather was very foggy, so we went to Wat Chalong first. We had forgotten that visiting a temple will require the girls to cover up a bit, so we went to the neighbouring shops to buy a shawl for the girlfriend. So please remember to grab a shawl when you are visiting the temples there. We then spent awhile walking around the temple and climbing up the pagoda. Undefeated, we asked the driver again if we see the Big Buddha and he drove us there to try our luck. The fog and rain was insane and we could not see the Big Buddha even at close up. All of a sudden, a gust of wind came and it revealed to us the holy buddha. It was enormous!! Then we headed to Old Phuket Town for some food, it was amazing. We bought so many street food from the friendly vendors. My favourite one was the tiny fried shrimps and mango sticky rice! #myperfectstaycation #oldphukettown #thailand #tripblazers #watchalong #bigbuddhaphuket #bigbuddha

Big Buddha Temple at Manting Park

What a wonderful discover! We enjoyed Manting Park and followed directions to Big Buddha Temple, which is right next to the park (you don’t actually need to exit the park). Temple is so full of details, primarily Thai with Burmese elements. Monks and worshippers all around make it an intense experience. We kept it to our last day and definitely stole our heart. #yunnan #xishuangbanna #mantingpark #bigbuddha

Majestic Big Buddha Statue 🪷

Located inShanxi Province, the Mengshan Big Buddha is one of the “must-see” if you are in town. I don’t really like hiking up mountains but this hike was surprisingly enjoyable. The view was simply beautiful. the contrast between the green leaves, the gray concrete stains and red papers (prayers and wishes) hanging by the chains tied all the way up the stairs leading the way to the grand statue. It was breathtaking! There were small shops that you will pass along the hike that sells cold and warm beverages and some simple foods like rice bowls and noodles. So no need to worry if you feel hungry. i suggest to wear comfy clothes and shoes to make the hike easier for you. #bigbuddha #shanxi #china #제주돼지 #mountain #hike #buddhist #travel

The Big Buddha in Phuket

#staycation #awesomepic #tripblazers #beachlife #summervacation #mytripvlog #bucketlistreboot #thailand #phuket #bigbuddha One of the main attractions of Phuket Island is Thailand's largest Big Buddha statue located in the central part of the island. 👍 Before entering the temple area, women should cover their knees and shoulders - unfortunately, it is not possible to rent appropriate robes on site, only purchase them. 👍 The area of the complex is currently under construction, especially the interior of the temple 👍 It is recommended to get to the top by taxi/scooter - the walking route is very demanding

Sky riding to the Big Buddha

Big Buddha is a center of Buddhism in Hong Kong. Constructed in 3 years between 1990 to 1993, Big Buddha which was made of bronze become one of the tourist attractions in Hong Kong since it was open to the public. From the ground level, we have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha. We can get there by taking the bus or cable car. Taking a cable car is one of the most interesting parts. Along the 25-minute journey, we can enjoy a beautiful view of the South China Sea, Hong Kong International Airport, North Lantau Country Park, Tung Chung Valley, and Ngong Ping Plateau. Next time I want to try the crystal cabin for the cable car, it must be much more interesting. #meethongkong #bigbuddha

Big Buddha of Xishuangbanna

#createwithtrip Xishuangbanna is relatively easy to navigate alone for anybody. This temple is no different, it’s free to enter and very easy to work your way through. As you can tell, I went when it was raining so it was rather quiet in terms of other people around yet this made it more enjoyable. The area is filled with small paths that lead you through so you wouldn’t miss any part. I ended with walking up to the Big Buddha, the steps circle round the statue and go on past until you reach the temple at the top. The view on the glass walkway here is worth it! You can easily find a local guide in Xishuangbanna so you could ask someone to join and give you a better run down of the history of this place. #urbanexplorer #bigbuddha #xishuangbanna #tripblazer #travel #summertime

GZ Big Buddha Temple - The most beautiful

Guangzhou Big Buddha Temple is the MOST beautiful, and the biggest temple I’ve ever seen in China so far. In Chinese it is called: 大佛寺 - Which literally means Grand Buddha Temple. It is located in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. (basically - Beijing road pedestrian street) The building is absolutely gorgeous in the evening as you can see in the pictures, I was amazed by the way it looks. Definitely worth your time to go over and see this amazing building at least once! even if you are not really interested in temple etc. You can still enjoy the beauty of the building in the evening with the lights. another thing that I think is making the temple to stand out and look even more beautiful is that is it surrounded by modern buildings and constructions from all sides. #thisischina #bigbuddha #temple #guangzhou #guangzhoutravel #guangdong #china #chinatravel

Leshan Big Buddha

The largest seated Buddha statue in the world, a 71-metre (233 ft) tall, built between 713 and 803 (during the Tang dynasty).

Location - 2345 Lingyun Rd, Shizhong District, Leshan, Sichuan, 614099.

Title: A Journey to the Big Buddha in Phuket Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Phuket, the Big Buddha stands tall as a beacon of serenity and spirituality. Embarking on a solo expedition, I ventured to this iconic site, eager to immerse myself in its mystique and tranquility. Upon arrival, the presence of monks adorned in vibrant saffron robes added an aura of reverence to the atmosphere. Engaging in mindful sessions guided by these wise custodians, I found solace in their teachings, embracing the essence of inner peace. As I ascended towards the towering figure of the Buddha, the scorching heat of the tropical sun enveloped me. Donning long dresses and clothing to adhere to cultural norms, I persevered through the challenging hike, albeit not without exertion. Along the way, encounters with mischievous monkeys added a playful touch to the journey, eliciting both laughter and caution. Despite the allure of the uphill trek, I advise future travelers to opt for the convenience of a motorcycle grab, sparing themselves the arduous climb in the sweltering heat. Reaching the summit, the panoramic vistas of Phuket's coastline unveiled before me, rendering me speechless with their breathtaking beauty. Standing in awe before the majestic Big Buddha, I felt a profound sense of tranquility wash over me. In retrospect, my solitary expedition to the Big Buddha in Phuket was a great experience, steeped in spirituality and cultural immersion. #BigBuddha #Phuket #SpiritualJourney #CulturalImmersion #MindfulSessions #Monkeys #Tranquility #MotorcycleGrab #SoloTravel #MemorableExperiences

Big Buddha in Hong Kong

Took the glass bottomed cable car to the Big Buddha on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It was very hot and sunny, but really beautiful views and good exercise to climb the steps to the top. They had shops and restaurants at the top so got an ice cream and some cold drinks to help us cool down in the summer heat. Trip was in July 2023. #bigbuddha #lantauisland #cablecar #hongkong
