Next to it is the Wisdom Path or the Heart Sutra Wood Inscription, an outdoor wooden version of the 260-word prayer on 38 wooden rectangular beams or obelisks. The beams are in the shape of a figure eight to represent infinity. The Heart Sutra is on the beams. Experience the art of Chinese calligraphy here.

Discover peace and serenity in this humble fishing village where you can just sit, relax and watch the coast. Villagers could also take you to the waters by their motorboat where dolphins are commonly seen.

Indeed Lantau is an ultimate escape from the bustling city of Hongkong.
