Hidden Zen Sanctuary on Lantau Island

This hidden Zen sanctuary on Lantau Island truly left me in awe!! Located next to the Tian Tan Buddha, the "Wisdom Path" features a hillside filled with wooden columns engraved with the Heart Sutra. Arranged in an infinity (∞) shape following the natural terrain, the view blends seamlessly with the ocean and lush greenery, creating a breathtaking scene 🌿. The wooden columns are unadorned and unpolished, standing humbly between heaven and earth. As you walk through, the breeze carries the scent of wood and the echoes of scripture, instantly calming your mind. The best part is its location—backed by mountains and facing the sea. Halfway up the hill, when you turn around, you'll see a vast expanse of blue ocean stretching beneath your feet, complemented by green grass and the wooden columns. Every snapshot you take here looks like a painting! When hiking the trail, take your time; the shaded path is cool and refreshing, and it only takes about 15 minutes to reach the site—not too strenuous. To get there, take the MTR to Tung Chung Station and exit at B. Then, transfer to bus 23 to Ngong Ping Village. Follow the signs to "Tea Garden" and take the small path to reach the destination. If you want to extend your stay, nearby South Lantau Hotel is a convenient option. After exploring the mountain, you can freshen up and enjoy seafood in Tung Chung at night—perfect for a weekend getaway! Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the natural and Zen beauty of this place! ✨
