Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery - Sha Tin, Hong Kong

On Saturday, April 13th, I joined a few friends on a small hike to the Ten Thousand  Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin.

Wiki info:

Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery WIKI


Directions:

-Take the MTR to Sha Tin (see map)

-Follow the signs to exit A1

-Continue walking straight out of the exit and follow the ramp down (look for the sign for Government Buildings this way)

-At the bottom of the ramp, you will see an open area with small shops, walk through the middle of this area and continue walking straight until you see the sign for the Monastery.

About the Hike:

It's an easy hike if you are in shape, otherwise you may experience some difficulty with the steep inclines. Fortunately, Golden Buddhas line the path which give you a chance to take a break and snap a few pictures! 


Safety:

As a safety precaution, be careful walking up the steep/narrow stairs and have a bottle of water just in case you get thirsty. They had drinks for sale at the top, but i'm not sure if this is always stocked.

Hours of Operation:

Everyday from 9am to 5:30pm (weather permitting)
