This Buddhist monastery is a tranquil complex in which to pass the time, observing points
of interest both architectural and spiritual. After being greeted by a Bodhisattva statue in the
entrance, you see the main building lying behind, styled as a classical Chinese palace. Fur-
ther behind is another two-storey building where, depending on what time of day you visit,
you may witness scores of monks chanting mantras. This building is topped by a spectacular
nine-storey pagoda.
To reach the monastery, take minibus 81 from Shiu Wo St. A taxi from the MTR station
will cost around HK$40.
