Sketchbook, Tian Tan Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, Hong Kong.

Sketchbook from China trip, 2017.
Visual Journal capturing 18 days in China.
While visiting the remote Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha bronze statue (the Big Buddha), we observed these monks making a pilgrimage to the site. The Buddha stands 34 meters tall facing mainland China from the village of Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. It is truly breathtaking. I will post images of the Buddha, but I found the monks to be most engaging.
