The Largest Seated Bronze Buddha in the world is found in Hong Kong on Lantau Island. He sit’s on top of a large mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean staring at Japan. The Buddha’s large, droopy ears are meant as a symbol for a great listener, his big belly is for fortune and luck while his kind eyes and welcoming hands bring you peace.

Wow I remember walking up to that Buddah! Gorgeous views from their and the cable car ride there is so wicked! If you’re ever in Malaysia check out Batu Caves, that walk dwarfs the walk up to the buddah!
