Hong Kong Movie Locations: Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery

Located in Sha Tim district, it was built in 1951 on one of Hong Kong's many high and steep hills. The mad trek was more than worth it though, as the small temple is gorgeous, the view is stunning and the narrow path is lined with hundreds of Buddhas in all shapes and forms. (In fact, I probably liked the difficult but quiet way up there a little more than the temple itself.) However it wasn't until I saw all the tiny figurines inside the main temple that I began to believe that there are really ten thousand of them. Tucked away high up in the mountains, this is a truly special, magical little place.

Now let's have the pictures do the talking!

Bis dann,
