If in Shatin area definitely worth a visit, please get the name written in Chinese so that you can ask for directions, no one not even the taxi drivers have heard of it just 1 KM from it since we were staying at Regal River side hotel which is about 2 Kms from the 10000 Buddha, man fat sze didnt...

The 10K Buddha is in Shatin my family home, it is quite a new attraction (in European terms) and had been steady built up over the years. It is interesting with all the different Buddha, the older more traditional Chinese ones are at the top of hill and I think the most interesting. To get in you have to go... More

Loved this monastery, plenty to see, great views over the city, some monkeys providing entertainment. Exotic aromas from plants, trees and burners. Authentic experience.

Wow - we took a trip up to see the 'Big Buddah' could see him from a few miles away. Great trip, well worth the effort to get there.

This was a fun place to visit. It took a little time to get out there on the MTR, but I think it is worth it if you have a little time to spare. I enjoyed the walk/hike up the hill among all of the buddha statues, and it was pretty neat how many buddhas there are. I get it... More

This temple was right by where we were staying so it was a no brainer for us to visit but I'd definitly recommend making the trip even if you're further away. Theres a bit of a climb up from Sha Tin to get to the temple, there are two routes but both are decently signposted and paved. The temple itself,... More

You need to travel to Sha Tin to get there, and then it's a 30 minute walk on uphill paths, but it's a really great experience if you can be bothered to make the effort. I've been twice and will revisit again sometime.

For some reason this is never in the TOP lists of things to see in Hong Kong, but for me it is the most amazing place this city has to offer! It is easily reached with an MTR to Sha Tin and from there its a small walk away, unless you get lost as there are no signs! Walk up... More

Our venture to this location started off on a car park looking down to the foot of the steps up to the temple. We we could see 3 Buddhist Monks on the correct path but could not work out how to get there until a security guard told us to take the path to the side of the car park.... More

If you go there take your time to climb the hill and find out which Buddha look like you and choose the rigth one for you. Not a single one looks like the other so 10.000 possibilities for you. go to the end of the hill with the white Buddha and the waterfall with an outstanding view in the valley.
