     â€‹The Tourism Commission (TC) announced today (May 27) that the “Wisdom Path” will be closed temporarily from June 5 (Thursday) to carry out refurbishment works.

     To reduce disturbances to locals and tourists, the “Wisdom Path” will be gradually reopened by the TC as appropriate before the refurbishment works are fully completed. The TC will announce the gradual opening of the “Wisdom Path” through various channels to facilitate the planning of journey by locals and tourists. Subject to actual weather and site conditions, it is expected that all refurbishment works will be complete in the last quarter of 2026.

     During the refurbishment works, visitors can enjoy the scenic views of the three-dimensional architecture harmoniously integrated with nature from different viewpoints at the viewing platform located at a section of the Lantau Trail near the “Wisdom Path”. Visitors can also scan QR codes at the viewing platform, which will redirect them to the TC’s website for the history and background of the “Wisdom Path”. The location and photo of the viewing platform are set out in Annex.

     The late Professor Jao Tsung-I donated his original calligraphy featuring the “Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra” (Heart Sutra) to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2002. The calligraphy was reproduced in the form of a large-scale outdoor wood inscription on a natural slope at the foot of Lantau Peak near Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. The timber columns, erected according to the mountain slope and integrated with nature, became a unique large-scale outdoor art piece and was named the “Wisdom Path”. Since its opening in May 2005, the “Wisdom Path” has become one of the tourist attractions on Lantau and has been welcomed by members of the public and visitors.
