    From start to finish there is just a lovely relax feel to the place, from the little village to the stunningly carved temple walls to the golden Buddha's inside the 1st one or gold pillars it is just beautiful

    Quiet and peaceful.

    Taken by a Hong Kong friend who is a Buddhist and who meditates here. So lovely and calm, I can see why she really likes it. A place to reflect and relax. It is free to enter. Highly recommended.

    Rare gem in a restless city. Everything is so calm and zen here. Guided tour (Cantonese only) and heart sutra calligraphy sessions are highly recommended. Remember to pre-book your visit online as it's open for appointments only.

    Solemn Buddhist institution

    Built by Li Kar-shing, Asia's richest man, Tsz Shan Monastery is perhaps one of the grandest and most elegant Buddhist temples in the world. The main hall is a Tang Dynasty-style wooden structure. The encompassing Guanyin statue is eye-catching. The view of Tolo Harbour from...More

    You may have to call for a taxi shortly before you intend to leave. It’s in a quite detached area where you won’t normally get a taxi unless someone happens to arrive in a taxi!
