Day trip to Ngong Ping 12-29-20

昂坪位于香港新界大屿山西南部,凤凰山山腰之上的一个高地,因为是香港观光景点之一的天坛大佛及宝莲寺的所在地而广为人知。
Ngong Ping ( 昂坪 ) is a highland in the mid-western part of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It locates Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha(34 m tall). There are several peaks nearby which attract hikers. It is the terminus of the cable car ride Ngong Ping 360 which travels from Tung Chung. Tourist traps like the Ngong Ping Village, Walking with the Buddha, the Monkey’s Tale Theatre and Ngong Ping Tea House. A youth hostel is located near the monastery. The second highest peak of Hong Kong, Lantau Peak, is at its southeast.

莲池寺于1921年兴建,式如长老是开山祖师, 蓮池寺高兩層,頂層為無量壽殿,用作供奉釋迦牟尼佛,底層則為觀音殿。蓮池寺雖與天壇大佛及寶蓮寺同位於大嶼山,但蓮池寺作風低調,故知名度遠遜二者,反之更為適合靜修,不少佛教道場和禪修團體俱借用蓮池寺作修行之用。
莲池寺 洛伽自在 《华严经》载:“于此地方有山,名补怛洛迦,彼有菩萨,名观自在。

鳳凰山位於大嶼山,海拔高度934米,是香港第二高的山峰,僅次於大帽山。雖然如此,登鳳凰山比大帽山難度更高,而且鳳凰山是一般人可到達的香港最高山峰。這裡更是觀賞日出和雲海的熱門地點,故有「鳳凰觀日」之稱。觀賞日出的人通常會在深夜由伯公坳作起點,經鳳凰徑第三段登山。
