The Birthday of Lord Buddha is a celebration of great reverence in Hong Kong's Buddhist temples.

Worshippers show their devotion throughout the day by bathing Buddha's statue. Celebrations centre round the major monasteries in Hong Kong. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, home to the world's largest, seated, outdoor bronze Buddha, draws the biggest crowds at this time. Visitors can participate in the bathing ceremony and enjoy sumptuous Chinese vegetarian dishes at the monastery.
