It was an excellent day out. We started at the far end of the island and made our way to the statue. The statue is about 3KM away. A good walk with open grass areas and trees. Ideal for picnics, ball games, etc.
There are some small shops along the way for light snacks and a few Chinese hot spicy eats. If there isn't anything you fancy there's a KFC on the island :-)
The statue itself was an amazing view to see, busy, but managed to get a few pics in.
