The Tian Tan Buddha statue in Hong Kong is gigantic. Like all Buddhist temples I have visited (which must be at least 20-30 now) it has a calmness  about it that I cant put my finger on. All images creative commons non commercial.
The Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong is huge. As I was approaching the seemingly endless stairs leading to the statue I grabbed a shot of the view. All images creative commons non commercial.

The highest point in the ancient city of Angkor is the temple of Prasat Bei. It is situated at the peak of a hill which offers amazing 360 dgree views. The Temple is so fragile that it is dangerous to enter, so a makeshift shrine has been erected just outside for people to worship at. All images creative commons non commercial
Marble Mountain is just outside of Da Nang in Vietnam. I was in the area for a few days but ended spending most of my time here. The top of the mountain has an impressive set of cave shrines and a beautiful temple complex. This is the view of the temple pagoda from halfway up the mountain.

Awe inspiring is not exaggeration with these buddha statues. I will tell you why in figures. The Yungang Caves were carved 1500 years ago. 252 grottoes where created and within them are over 51,000 buddha statue carvings. The Buddha on the left of this photo is a mere 17 metres high! Not much more I can say other than it's one thing I would recommend that people see before they die. All images creative commons non commercial.
