Po Lin Monastery, Ngong Ping in Lantau Island, is famed as a location where followers of the Buddhist tradition show devotion and participate celebrations for the Birthday of Lord Buddha.
Don’t miss the opportunity to solemnly “bathe” a small statue of Buddha with ladles of water, as it’s supposed to help purify oneself! Or indulge in a vegetarian lunch to experience the life of a monk while taking in demonstrations of Chinese tea ceremonies by professional tea masters.
The pinnacle of the festivities will be the Shaolin Kung Fu performances as well as acrobatics, carried out with much finesse and precision.
