		Po Lin Monastery, offering fixed-price vegetarian meals, is the most famous place to eat on the island.
		Buy your lunch ticket from the counter at the base of the Giant Buddha or at the monastery itself; your ticket is for a specific time, at an assigned table.
		Two different meals of soup, vegetarian dishes, and rice are available: the ordinary, HK$60 (US$7.80) meal is served in an unadorned dining hall and the procedure is rather unceremonious, with huge dishes of vegetables, rice, and soup brought to communal tables covered with plastic tablecloths.

		The eyes, lips, incline of the head and even the right hand raised to deliver a blessing to all, combine to lend great depth of character and dignity to this extraordinary statue, whose very glance brings calm and introspection to those who look into those seemingly all-seeing eyes.
		Besides attracting Buddhists from all over Asia, the magnificent figure with its compelling presence almost instantly transformed the remote Po Lin Monastery with its devout monks into a must on tourist schedules.
		Besides studying the massive statue there is also much to see and do at the monastery itself with its various figures of Gods and other colourful manifestations of aspects of the Buddhist religion.

		It is a remote, isolated, gold, green and red buildings of a large complex perhaps part hidden in swirling cloud, offering tantalising glimpses of rugged, green hills and deep valleys.
		This isolation makes Po Lin, the Precious Lotus, different from most temples seen by tourists to Hong Kong or other Asian cities.
		But in the complex island that is Lantau, another thing that makes Po Lin different is man-made: what's said to be "the biggest outdoor and seated" Buddha in the world, 33 metres tall and reached atop a hill by 300 steps.
