About Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
Set on a forested hillside in Sha Tin, this temple complex is approached via a winding path lined with hundreds of life-sized, gold-painted statues, each posed with a distinct expression. At the summit, a striking nine-story pagoda and a main hall housing nearly 13,000 miniature Buddhas overlook the valley below. Visitors make the climb to explore the eclectic sculptures and take in wide-ranging views of the New Territories.
