Nice to see the big Buddha in Thai. There also have big Buddha in Hong Kong but in Lantau island. Interesting video
They are lovely to see and often also offer fantastic viewpoints of the area they are located in. We plan to visit Hong Kong in he future. Do you know what is the best area to stay if you are visiting the city? Thanks for watching and commenting :-D
+Traveller you are welcome. The best area I think is between wan chai and causeway bay. Not far from airport express station. :)
Thanks for the information, will start looking at prices and availability in that area for a future trip :-D
