The massive Po Lin Monastery boasts an exhibit hall for Buddhist relics, a meditation hall, a shrine, an abbot's chamber, and a scripture library. The monastery's biggest attraction, the impressive "Hall of the Ten Thousand Buddhas" attracts tourists with its impressive exterior adorned with minute carvings and reliefs. The interior of the hall is also lavishly decorated, and the colorfully painted ceilings particularly stand out.

Run by monks, the monastery's vegetarian restaurant serves dishes made using fresh locally sourced ingredients.

Le monastère est situé au pied du grand bouddha. Le monastère est bien conservé et se visite en 1h environ. C'est l'endroit pour se reposer après la montée au grand Bouddha. Entouré par cette senteur ... more »
The monastery is located at the foot of the great Buddha. The monastery is well preserved and can be visited in about an hour. This is the place to rest after the ascent to the great Buddha. Surrounded by this scent of incense, you will walk through the buildings that make up this site. There's a restaurant inside. Always these beautiful colors that encourage the desire to take lots of pictures.View original -
We had been told to visit the Giant Buddha but didn't expect the beautiful temples. Loved visiting them and was a highlight of our time in Hong Kong . The temple of 1000 Buddha's was special but even ... more »

Relaxing place to while away some time. Bit of effort to climb stairs to see the Buddha but well worth seeing. Monastery is stunning

Lovely place. Came to see the large Buddha, but the entire area is well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The ride up takes a little while, and to walk to the stairs under the Buddha could take up to 10 minutes, depending on your pace. The views from the base are good, but there are a lot of people climbing the stairs to the Buddha most of the time. A couple of large temples that can be visited as well.

Located in the same area as the famous big Buddha statue. A great stop for vegans and veg-curious, because they have both a restaurant and a takeaway cafe with plenty of outdoor seating with fans. Vegans, please know that not all of the food is vegan, but it is entirely vegetarian. You will need to ask which items contain milk and egg. For example, they had a coconut mango drink that looked amazing, but it contained condensed milk, so I'm glad I asked about it. Plenty of keep you filled and reasonable prices.

The engravings are amazing. The monastery itself has incredible work done. The 10 thousand Buddha room is rich in detail and vibrant.

Nice walk upwards to the big Buddha. After getting to the top, will be able to have a good view of the surrounding. Have to buy a meal ticket to visit the exhibition area inside the big Buddha. The vegetarian food at the restaurant is good, try the premium version.
