Spectacular And Worth The Effort

The Monastery houses the largest standing outdoor Guan Yin Statue in SE Asia. The various buildings and landscaping including some very old trees are just spectacular, very serene and inspiring! Admissions of visitors is very strictly controlled and therefore a very relaxed and inspiring visit....More

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.

Hi the first time we visited it we had very young children and yes we did the trip by taxi. It was expensive when you consider other modes of transport but yes it can be done. Enjoy the trip
