Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery

Local name萬佛寺
LocationSha Tin, China

Dating back to the 1950s, this Buddhist temple showcases an amazing array of depictions of Buddha - probably around 13,000 pieces.

The complex actually consists of five temples, four pavilions, and one pagoda. A vegetarian restaurant also operates on its premises. No monks live here, the place is maintained by non-clerics. (Watch out for rip-offs, the monks asking for money here are fake.)

It's quite a long climb to the monastery, but the path is lined with intriguing golden Buddhas and definitely worth taking. Take your time and enjoy the scenic views as well.
