Tea at Po Lin Monastery

I thought I'd share some of my pictures from my trip to Hong Kong this spring. These were taken on Lantau Island on the trail up to Lantau Peak from the Po Lin monastery. About half way up the mountain trail there was a little area with a group tea plants.

The world's tallest outdoor Buddha at Ngong Ping is 34 meters high and weighs 250 tonnes. I felt like a tiny speck walking up the steps to the foot of the statue.Living in Michigan where all we have are flat plains and tiny hills I sometimes forget how gorgeous the scenery of China can be.
