If you take a taxi to the Giant Buddha i recommend getting out as soon as you get to the big brown stone gate and walking the rest of the way. Once you get up to the Buddha there are easy photo locations that allow you to get a good selfie with the head of the Buddha but not the whole thing. If you want to take photos or see the whole sculpture you’ll have to stand in an insanely long line for an hour or two depending on the time of day.
