The main hall has two floors and it is covered with an elaborately decorated roof and has three big, golden Buddha statues. The main attraction of Po Lin is the 34m high  Buddha statue outside, It is said to be the biggest Buddha statue in Asia because it's height is 34m tall and it weighs 250 tons but to see the close-up of it you need to climb a lot of stairs to reach the top but it is worth the effort you get to enjoy a wonderful view of Lantau and also the other little island's that surrounds it and also the blue south China sea and the mountains covered with green trees.
