Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery (Man Fat Sze), Hong Kong

Great change of pace. And not too crowded. Beautiful views, and a nice walk. You could see wild monkeys running around the mountain sometimes. The trail is a bit hard to find. Don't go through the big entrance of the ancestral hall, instead look for the trail that starts behind the shopping center.

Literally, 10,000 Buddha statues of all sizes on display from the foot of the mountain trail to the walls and ceiling of the beautiful temple above. The walk is not too difficult. Young children and old people can do it. Maybe 10 minutes to reach the top. You can take your time and enjoy the view or take pictures of all of the unique statues along the way. The temple is gorgeous but photos are not allowed inside. Watch for monkeys along the path and be aware of the signs warning of fake monks seeking alms. The entrance path is not marked by signs. Use Google Maps to walk you to the bottom of the path. When you see the golden Buddha statues, you've found it!

It's not an actual monastery, but beautiful nonetheless. Definitely worth the trip to the top, and there are actually closer to 13,000 Buddhas lining the way, each one being unique. There's a nice "vegetarian restaurant" at the top that sells pork spring rolls at the entrance. My favorite part were the fake monks asking for donations who hung out directly under a giant sign that reads, "Do not give donations to the fake monks."

A 10 minute hike up the stairs with golden Buddha statues all around. If you're lucky you'll see some monkeys eating fruits or in my case searching in trash bags. Nice view of Shatin on top. Not perfectly maintained but decent enough

One of my favourite in Hong Kong! It is a unique experience - climbing over 500 steps and you are surrounded by golden Buddhas in different forms. The temple itself is wonderful - there are actually at least 10,000 Buddhas. We got to the Sha Tin station and took exit B - the temple is a quick 5 minute walk. Google Maps says take Exit A4 - we could not find such an exit. No admission fees. Highly Recommended!
