HongKong Lantau Island - Ngong Ping 360 Village - The Wisdom Path

The Wisdom Path Lantau

The Wisdom Path in Lantau is just a five minute walk away from the Tea Garden which is accessed via Ngong Ping 360 Village.  Though not one of the main Hong Kong tourist attractions, the Wisdom Path Lantau is an interesting place to visit.


We enjoyed the tranquility of Lantau island HongKong and the little exercise in walking to the Wisdom Path from Ngong Ping 360 village.

Directions to the Wisdom Path viewing platform

 Wisdom Path can be found at the foot of Lantau Peak, the second highest mountain in Hong Kong.  This is a large scale outdoor wood inscription, a monumental work of calligraphy transformed into a huge outdoor display.

Located at the foot of Lantau Peak

 The Wisdom Path Lantau's 38 timber columns measure 8 - 10 metres long and 1 metre wide and are arranged to correspond to the topography of the landscape as well as in a figure of 8 to symbolise infinity.

Tranquil environment to read the sutra

 Located close to where the Giant Buddha Hong Kong is, the 38 timber columns are carved with the 260 word Prajna-paramita Heart Sutra, a Buddhist classic, and was previously known as the Heart Sutra Inscription.
