TIAN TAN BUDDHA

The Tian Tan Buddha sits on the island of Lantau, and is the largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha in the world. You have to climb 260 steps to reach him, and a large bell inside of him rings 108 times during the day to symbolize escape from what Budhism terms the 108 troubles of mankind. Jay-Z said there are only 99 problems, but since the bitch ain't one, maybe that accounts for the additional nine? Regardless, I had to high-five him!
