    The highway goes right into the bay! (We'll take that on tomorrow's tour!)A long (hot!) walkway exists for those who want to bake.There are 12 of these guys all along the promenade leading to the base of the budda's stairs.Tian Tan Buddha (aka: the Big Buddha, or the Bronze Buddha)Po Lin Monastery, established 1906Grand Hall of 10,000 Buddhas -- just stunning to see!Detail of the walls to the left & right of the shrine.This is the underside of the roof of the temple!The exterior had beautiful sculptures.Young people praying to the temple with incense offerings.Just because you CAN add flavors to popcorn doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD. (IMHO)Hard to see, but the drivers are on the left (from China) and right (from Hong Kong).Beautiful sculpture outside our hotel.
