About 500m west of Shatin is the Ten Thousand Buddha Monastery.
A must if you're into buddha's but also a great place to visit for everyone else. Take the KCR to Shatin station and go trough the left-hand exit, following the signs.
It's quite a climb up (400 odd steps), but it's worth it!
The monastery was built in the 1950's and there are actually 12,800 miniature buddha's in the main temple. There's a nine level pagoda with larger than life statues of buddha followers in front of the temple.
Walk up a few more steps to find a smaller temple huosing the embalmed body of the founding monk who died in 1965.
The monastery is free, altough it is polite to leave a donation to help pay for the temple's upkeep.

Back in Kowloon, we took the train north to Sha Tin, another modern suburb. BUT there is the Temple of the 10 000 Buddhas. You´ll reach it over 400 steps.

Temple of a 10000 Buddhas. Take the commuter train to the suburbs, then climd up hundreds of steps to get there. And you'll find the garish temple - but it does have 10000 buddhas.
