Young worshiping nun ascending toward Tian Tan Buddha, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

This young monk looks up to the Tian Tan Buddha statue. Well over 100 monks and nuns made the 260 step ascent, stopping each 3rd step to prostrate themselves before the Lord Buddha. At high with a podium, the Tian Tan Buddha is one of the largest statues of Buddha in the world.
