No, walking up Victoria Peak isn't a good idea. But climbing the 431 steps to reach the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas is. It actually delivers more than it offers - a Hong Kong habit - by containing 12,800 statues of the Buddha. And don't miss the holy man mummy covered with gold leaf. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/hong-kong/mai_po-marsh-4580.html Hong Kong Thu, 01 May 2008 20:30:00 +0200 It will surprise many that Hong Kong is not all buildings and streets.
