Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
One of the most dramatic sacred sites in Hong Kong, the Ten
Thousand Buddhas Monastery is perched at the top of a hill in the
town of Sha Tin, and visitors must climb 400 stairs to reach the
temple and the famous nine-storey pagoda. The monastery actually
contains nearly 13,000 buddha statues in the walls alone, however
there are no resident monks and it is managed by laypersons.
