Great quiet place to go for religious and non religious reasons. A bit far out but totally worth it. Will go back

Peaceful
Apr 2021 • Family
Since the location is very far from the main city, you feel alike away from your daily routine and feel very peaceful here. With the capacity limitation, there are only a few of visitors, which will not let the noise ruin the peace. But it is very hard to reserve the tickets. Please standby sharply at 8am for the online registration. Small tips for the minibus service. Schedule as attached.

Peacefulness in Hong Kong
Oct 2019
A reservation is needed as they try to limit the amount of foot traffic. Public transportation to is not the most convenient. So take an Uber or Taxi. From Central, it is a long ride.

It is a peaceful and beautiful place to to relax and meditate with your family.

The most affecting place in HK...
Jul 2020 • Friends
...that I have so far been, in four years here. Similar in design to the Chi Lin Nunnery in Diamond Hill, but much grander in scale, it’s a wonderfully peaceful site, with stunning views all around. The Buddhist art museum on-site was also very interesting, with some incredible artefacts. It’s worth booking and heading up to see this place, most definitely!

Beautiful Buddhist temple in a scenic landscape
Mar 2020 • Couples
Beautiful place with scenic views. A good place for meditation, they also offer walking meditation and calligraphy. The coffee shop there provides coffee/tea and cake for a donation. Pre-booking is required. Therefore, there are not a lot of people visiting at the same time and it is very peaceful. The museum was closed because of the corona virus when we were visiting.

Divine gem of Hong Kong
Feb 2020
Such a gorgeous and relaxing one of a kind space to visit while in Hong Kong. The silent vegetarian lunch is very popular and good to experience. Many photo capturing scenes and the weather is always nice being up up and away from the busy city.

Calm and tranquil
Jan 2020
A calm and tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. The ingenuity behind the architecture impresses me the most. Advance booking is needed to visit the monastery so if you have the opportunity to go there, treasure it.

Quiet peaceful, need to pre-book
Oct 2019
Feel clam the moment I stepped into the monastery. I have been here twice, once when it's sunny, and when it's very cloudy. Both were very nice. It is beautiful during sunny day, and you can see the Tai Po sea clearly. On a cloudy day, it seems like those magical monastery in a fairy tale.
Recommend to spend at least 2 hrs to walk around the monastery. They offer free scripture writing in one of the temple.
Remember to pre-book as they would only allow 300 visitors per day. Need to book at least 2 weeks in advance if you want to visit on the weekend.
They have free parking.

Breathtaking views

This was by far the best spiritual experience we had in Hong Kong. Booking in advance is required but it’s worth the planning.
