Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Big Buddha sculpture on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. Standing at 34 metres tall, the statue is an awe-inspiring sight.
The journey began with a scenic cable car ride, which offered breathtaking views of the mountains and the surrounding waters.
As I approached, the sheer size of the Buddha took my breath away.
I took a moment to sit and meditate. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of mindfulness in our busy lives.
I left feeling inspired.

The sun is a massive ball of sizzling gases. Most of this gas is hydrogen, about 70 per cent, and helium, about 28 per cent.
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen make up 1.5 per cent of the total, and the other 0.5 per cent is made up of small amounts of many other elements such as neon, iron, silicon, magnesium and sulphur.
Did you know that the sun is actually a mixture of colours, but our atmosphere scatters its colours, making it look yellow?
Now we understand more about the extraordinary, gigantic ball of burning gas that illuminates our planet.

Last Christmas holiday, I went to Guangzhou with my family. The high-speed rail takes about two hours. We stayed at a beautiful hotel.
On the first day, we skied in the Ice and Snow Park.
We also went to the shopping mall to buy Christmas gifts. That night, we had a hotpot for dinner.
I had a wonderful trip to Guangzhou and wish to go there again.

Airport Express proposes fare increase amid rising costs and planned upgrades
For the first time in eight years, the Airport Express has proposed a fare increase of approximately 9.4 percent, expected to be implemented in June. This proposal comes as the number of tourists visiting Hong Kong has not fully rebounded post-pandemic, and energy costs have surged in recent years. Near 14pc inflation in 7 years The MTR Corporation, which operates the Airport Express, has not raised fares during this period. The company stated that the cumulative inflation over the past eight years has exceeded 13 percent, and operating costs have significantly increased. Additionally, investments are planned to improve facilities, necessitating a fare adjustment to achieve financial balance. However, fare discounts will be offered to accommodate different passenger groups. The rail giant has submitted a document to the Legislative Council's Panel on Transport proposing that starting from June, the adult Octopus card fare for the Airport Express will increase by HK$5 to HK$10, and the single-journey ticket price will increase by HK$10 to HK$15. Since its last fare adjustment in 2017, the Airport Express has seen a cumulative inflation of 13.8 percent, according to the Composite Consumer Price Index, with energy costs rising by 27 percent during the same period. The rapid decline in passenger volume since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has only recovered to about 70 percent of pre-pandemic levels. During this time, other modes of transport to and from the airport and related to tourism have also increased their charges. Additionally, changes in business travel patterns and competition from other public transport options have continuously challenged the financial sustainability of the Airport Express. HK$2 billion to be invested to upgrade infrastructure The document also highlights that over the next few years, more than HK$2 billion will be invested to upgrade various assets and enhance facilities of the Airport Express, which has been operational for about 27 years. This includes the construction of new platforms connecting to Passenger Terminal 2 at the airport, replacement of ticket gates, and new trains to improve passenger experience. Despite the fare increase, the MTR Corporation assures that promotional discounts will be offered, including maintaining group ticket prices for six months, free MTR interchanges, and ongoing promotions like free return trips on the same day to the airport. Additionally, during the upcoming summer and Christmas holidays, children will ride for free, and there will be enhanced collaborations with airlines and travel agencies to offer various Airport Express travel products and bundled discounts. The fare for airport staff traveling between Hong Kong/Kowloon/Tsing Yi stations and the airport/AsiaWorld-Expo station with an Octopus card will remain unchanged. Reaction from tourism industry The fare adjustment is deemed reasonable by the tourism industry, with the Hong Kong Tourism Association executive director Timothy Chui Ting-pong stating that the increase will not impact visitors significantly, as the primary users of the Airport Express are tourists and business travelers who prioritize convenience and punctuality. He suggested that the Airport Express could establish a "frequent traveler discount" to alleviate the pressure of fare increases on regular passengers and to consolidate its customer base. He also recommended that the Airport Express increase its collaboration with the tourism industry, which would not only provide mutual benefits but also enhance promotional effects. Reaction from Airport Express users Christian, who is from Italy and works in Hong Kong, said he usually chooses the Airport Express when traveling for business. Having used it over a hundred times, he mentioned that the Airport Express is very close to the city center, making it the preferred choice for residents of Hong Kong Island heading to the airport. Regarding the fare increase, Christian believes that the increase is modest and the new price is moderate and affordable. He added that one would pay much more for similar services in London and the United States. Zhang, a traveler from mainland China, said this was his second visit to Hong Kong, and he always chooses the Airport Express for its convenience and speed. He stated that the fare increase would not affect his decision to use the Airport Express, as it is within his travel budget. However, a local resident who travels to Southeast Asia mentioned that while the Airport Express facilities are generally good, the current prices are already high. He hopes for a reduction in fares to attract more passengers. (Prashan Limbu)

3-day Ethiopia travel itinerary shows best of African nation, from shopping to sightseeing
As we darted through Addis Ababa's morning rush hour, my jet lag could not dull the energy of Ethiopia's capital. Advertisement We wove through crowds of office workers headed to high-rises and families leading goats home for Orthodox Christmas feasts while our guide explained how one needs at least three weeks to fully experience his country. From the dramatic peaks of Simien Mountains National Park to the sprawling salt plains of the Danakil Depression, natural wonders alone could fill a month of adventure. But there is also plenty for time-pressed travellers like we were. 'With a few days, you can get a taste,' guide Yonas Zewede of Landscape Ethiopia Tours assured me.
