The word "modern" is important to learn. I think "modern" means now and the new things. It is important to learn because if the technologies and architectures in a country is modern that means they are more fashionable, new and you may never seen before. And so the country is more worthy to visit.
The Tian Tan Big Buddha is a wonder in Hong Kong. It located on Lantau Island that near the Po Lin Monastery. It is the world's biggest outdoor Buddha. The construction costs of the giant Buddha were estimated to be up to $68 million. The Buddha is 34 meters high, weighs 250 tonnes. Visitors have to climb 268 steps in order to reach the Buddha. There is a huge carved bell that rings every 7 mins. You can feel the momentum of it and your feeling just like you are tiny as the sand when you stand in front of it. It is really magnificent.

Winky, you are the fourth person to suggest the Big Buddha; and you are the first person to copy and paste facts to support your argument. This is a modern technique, I suppose.
