Review & FAQ:

Built in 1957 and situated in Sha Tin, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is Hong Kong’s most iconic temple. Visitors will need to climb over 430 steep steps and a concrete pathway in order to reach the off-the-beaten-path complex. Along the way they’ll pass by an array of life-sized gold-painted Buddha statues. Once at the top, they can explore the five temples, four pavilions, and the pagoda, which each have varying numbers of golden Buddhas and other statues on display. This is also an excellent destination to enjoy panoramic views of Sha Tin and the New Territories as well as the chance to see a wild monkey or two.
