We start off our next instalment at the Ngong Ping Village.
Mathew and Adrian put a little hanging on the tree of wisdom with Mathew’s handwriting written on it saying Good Health and Safe Travels. The Walking with Buddha show tells a story about the life of Siddhartha Gautama and his path to enlightenment. The Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island are built to commemorate him.
Another spot here is Linong Tea house, inside one of the rooms there are instructions on how the tea is made and then a demonstration on pouring it. Here they pour the tea into clear teapots and also have different tea being brewed. Next they pour the tea onto a little horse statue. WOW! the horse statue is changing colour as the tea is poured on it, from dark green to white and back again after another pour.
The next day I need someone to help me. Because I’ve been captured by a phoenix at the start of the Wisdom Path. Lets not get carried away there Mr Phoenix. After being carefully put down we start walking up the Wisdom path, wandering through a lot of trees and Pillars.
Wow look at me I’m up high in the rocks. I feel so high I could be a Shapoo. After seeing some cable cars go by we come across stone ancient warriors, each one of them is wearing a helmet with one of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac on it.
There is also a Monastery here where we see ancient golden statues with many beautiful flowers. I get to see a stone Buddha before Mathew and Adrian head over for a vegetarian lunch at the Vegetarian Restaurant. Later on in the day I see some turtle statues and at the end of the day a lovely sunset near the Buddha statue.
