The largest seated Buddha in the world

Lantau Island is home to Tian Tan Buddha, a giant bronze statue – 34 metres high – of a Buddha Amoghasiddhi. Also known as the Big Buddha, the statue is located at Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, Hong Kong, China, near the Po Lin Monastery. The statue was completed in 1993 and symbolises the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion. A major centre of Buddhism in Hong Kong and a popular tourist attraction, Tian Tan Buddha is beautifully captured in this video.
