Founded in 1906 by three monks, Po Lin Monastery rose in the misty mountains of Lantau Island as a quiet refuge for meditation and devotion. Far from the city’s chaos, it became a place where faith could flourish undisturbed. Over time, it grew into one of Hong Kong’s most revered Buddhist sanctuaries.

One of the world’s most respected facilities for panda conservation and research is the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Established in 1987, the base was created to increase the wild panda population and ensure their survival, at a time when only around 1,000 remained. Over the years, it has become a symbol of scientific study and wildlife preservation.
