Second trip on Lantau Island: Po Lin Monastery

 

 

'nice-weather-photos' again! When I visited the monastery in April 2012 the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas was still under construction - it is the massive building (towered by a crane) behind the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha. A click on the image below shows a Google Earth view of the Po Lin Monastery area.
