Big Buddha Part Deux

Decided to go back to Big Buddha with Michele and Catie while their mom was in India. We took the glass bottomed cable car up and down this time and spent a few hours wandering the temples and monastery and Ngon Ping village. The ride up the mountains was clearer than last time and we even saw a bungee jumper.

Actually he was a workman who was all tethered but looked like he was ready to jump.


Lots of great photos are on the earlier Big Buddha post, but there is always some new angle or spot that catches the eye.

New additions to the landscape this time were the cattle roaming freely around the grounds and the dogs relaxing by the walkways. They were quite docile and posed freely, but one was rather hungry.

The grounds, as always, provide great photo ops. 

I also found two more signs to add to my collection of "interesting word structure" and "who would do that" signs.

One of the best part of this visit was taking the cable car down at sunset. It was a cloudy day so the sunset was subtle, but heading into the station with the lights over the harbor was a beautiful sight.
