Worshippers show their devotion throughout the day by bathing Buddha's

Hong Kong. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, home to the world's
largest, seated, outdoor bronze Buddha, is one of hubs of activity at this
time. Enjoy sumptuous Chinese vegetarian dishes at
Po Lin Monastery; observe the ceremonies at some other monasteries.
