    I had some free time to go to Lantau, an island off Hong Kong, which is reachable by road and rail.
    This is actually most people's arrival point, as Hong Kong's new airport was built on an artificial piece of land that was added to accommodate the huge structure.

    The island is home to some amazing little fishing villages (Tai O), where locals go at weekends to buy their dried fish, as well as Big Buddha, the biggest outdoor buddha in the world. Next to the Big Buddha temple, is a monastery, where its possible to eat some fantastic vegetarian food, with beautifully decorated and ornate surroundings.
    A great afternoon out, and the chance to be outside of the polluted areas like Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
