Tsz Shan Monastery

If you would love to know more about the history and art of buddhism, this is a really beautiful place that you must visit. There is a musuem in there that you will find amazing antiques and artifacts (there are 2 zones - photography free and no photography zones) Additional remarks: - Pre-booking. There is a strict limit on the amount of tourists per day. Booking must be made in advance through their website, first come first serve. - Transportation. Not within walking distance from MTR. Bus/taxi/uber is needed, so some “homework” needs to be done prior to your visit. - Location and time. As the location is not exactly near any other tourist spots, it’s not recommended for those who have a tight schedule. #Hongkong #hkthroughmyeyes #travelwithtripcom @trip @hongkongairport

I finally visited the long-awaited Tsz Shan Monastery, a temple filled with garden-like ambiance located at Ting Kok in Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong. Covering an area of 4.7 hectares, it can accommodate more than 2,000 devotees and was built with an investment of 1.5 billion by Mr. Li Ka-shing. The monastery features the world's second tallest outdoor statue of Guanyin. Unlike other temples, incense burning is not allowed when worshipping Guanyin here; instead, water is offered. The monastery's construction materials include African-imported rosewood, and the lotus-shaped canopies above the three large Buddha statues in the main hall are gilded with 24K gold. The roof is made with Japanese-fired silver tiles to ensure a uniform color. After the tour, we copied scriptures for about 40 minutes. It was very quiet, and this rare sense of tranquility was healing.

Interesting art pieces from the museum #hkthroughmyeyes
