Buddha

---

Well feeling much better now and have been out and about looking at the city and surrounding areas. On Wednesday we went to Lantau to see the Giant Bronze Buddha that sits on top of the mountain. It was amazing how such a big statue could get so high up without any kind of machinery. The monastary next to it was lovely with golden statues and lots of insense.

Yesterday we went looking around Central District and went into 2 Temples which we celebrating the new year by burning massive insense coils hung from the roof. The decoration on the outside of the temples was amazing, so detailed and colourful. We also went to watch the new year parade which was no match to honitons! there were gaps in the parade between the floats of about 5 minutes. So we left and went to the harbour to look across at the neons on the buildings.

We have been reliably informed that the rest of chinese hostels have heating so are looking forward to moving on on sunday.
