This is a really great place to visit in Sha Tin. There are many Buddha's here and it attracts a lot of Filipino, malays etc. Best buy some incense for HKD10 and distribute them!

As everyone else has mentioned on here, it was a little difficult to locate. Once there it was a blast! It is a tough walk up the hill, many places are steep and some a bit slippery. Worth the walk just to see the view from the top. Beautiful!

Most important - very close to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery there is a temple that many climb to it by a mistake. How to avoid the mistake? if you are climing in stairs and do not see Buddhas every 2-3 meters from the begining you are not in the right way. Very important - take a water with you.

One of my favourite places in Hong Kong. I arrived in the late afternoon and there was hardly anyone there. It was so tranquil and beautiful.

If you want to go up to see the big Buddha then take this advice. 1) Wear comfortable shoes. 2) If you are asthmatic take your puffa/inhaler BEFORE climbing up the steps (trust me on this) 3) Remember that it is about the journey and not just getting to the top. I enjoyed going there but I wouldn't go again.

First off all follow the directions from here and head for the grand white gate with Chinese symbols on it dont enter it as it is a cemetery turn right up a path with a tiny sign and follow the directions you will be pleased to know that there are guards at the entrance to stop the begging monks and...

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
