We travelled Hong Kong totally by public transport which is very easy to get around. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is a little out of the way and a bit of a walk up about 300 steps but I can assure you it is well worth the effort. We have travelled throughout Asia but have never seen anything like this... More

absolutely fascinating when you see the tons of buddha sculptures lining the path up to the main temple that is perched in the middle of nowhere. Makes one wonder how the monks did it when they first shifted the statues one by one without modern day technology More

In the New Territories so a few sttaions out on the MTR. Easy to find but a steep climb up to the monastery. The climb is lined with Buddha so interesting but take water and rest because it goes on for a bit. Once up there it is great. It's not an entertainment but a place of peace with great... More

Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery This is not one of the top attractions than most tourists think of when coming to Hong Kong but I would consider it a must see. I have been to Hong Kong before and have been to the Peak, Stanley, Ngong Ping, etc. Why is Man Fat Sze a must see attraction, 1) Not touristy so... More

A winding set of stairs take you to the top of this semi kitsch monastery, and along the way you are very likely to be greeted by monkeys! One word of caution, take the time to read the monkey guidelines at the bottom of the staircase! More

As it says there really are 10,000 golden buddhas (although honestly I didn't count them all) and they are all different, not to say a little strange! Very easy to get there by either bus or metro and then a short (10 minute) walk to the bottom of the steps. The walk up is lined with buddhas, you need to... More

Well what can 10,000 buddhas be like? Anyway a slice into the life of the Chinese of that period so that is interesting to those who care about it. More
