Tsz Shan Monastery

A very serene place for the morning visit. The majestic Guan Yin standing tall and reminded us for being compassionate. The crowd control is really helpful with the advanced booking.

One of the most scenic places in HK. VERY controlled guest count so not crowded. Perfect for a weekend. Plan well ahead booking starts 1 month ahead. Great place for cycling /picnic (not in monastery) Amazing views beautiful statue

Tsz Shan Monastery 慈山寺is a serene Buddhist temple in Tai Po, Hong Kong, known for its 76-meter-tall Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) statue and peaceful environment.

Admission is Free, but requires booking a spot via the official Tsz Shan Monastery website up to one month in advance. Key Attractions are the colossal 76-meter-tall bronze-cast Guan Yin statue, which is the focal point of the monastery. The Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum, located beneath the statue, showcasing Buddhist artifacts from around the world. Beautifully manicured gardens, tranquil ponds, and various halls, including the Main Buddha Hall and Maitreya Hall. Opportunities for spiritual practices like water offering and Zen calligraphy. To get to the temple, public transport is encouraged as visitor parking is not available. The best way is to take Minibus 20T: Operates directly between MTR Tai Po Market Station and the monastery entrance on weekdays (except public holidays).

Our second time visiting this scenic monastery in Hong Kong. The monetary is very well kept, the cleanliness is top notch. This time around we were able to enter the museum under the white statue of Guanyin goddess. The museum air conditioning was really cool and theres whole lots of ancient Buddhist artifacts up for display. Some artifacts were decades old and its a fantastic opportunity to witness a lot of these artifacts in person

A Serene and Welcoming Experience This place is an absolute must-visit—even if you're not religious, the sense of peace you feel upon entering is truly remarkable. It’s spacious and never feels overcrowded, which adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The entire facility is exceptionally clean, and I was impressed by how well it accommodates wheelchair users. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite, making the experience all the more pleasant. I highly recommend booking your visit online in advance to ensure smooth and easy entry. 🚫 _Note:_ Shorts and short sleeves are not permitted, so be sure to dress appropriately out of respect for the guidelines

Beautiful monastery. Stunning view 360 degree. Worth going there. Online booking advance is required. There’s a minibus taking up from MTR station.

Must need reservations for entry and there is no entrance fee. That is a beautiful and peaceful place. You can feel that Mr LI (the owner ) have a good management team to run the Monastery. I appreciate everyone work at here and made the Monastery so clean and professional. I didn't try the famous coffee and cake due to a long line up( at least 30 -45 min ). That a good place to have a relaxing day for visiting. Only one thing to mention is I hope everyone can quiet and don't disturb the other people.

Very Serene and well maintained . Staff and volunteers are helpful and friendly. They offer tour guide services, wheelchair is also available upon request. Well worth to go.
