10,000 BUDDHAS MONASTERY -NOT TO BE MISSED

    • THE ENTRANCE TO THE MONASTERY - Sha Tin
    THE ENTRANCE TO THE MONASTERY
    by TONYALAWSON
    Take the MTR to the Shatin stop and get off -head towards Park Road. You will see Ikea straight ahead. Walk in front of it -you will see a small yellow sign for the 10,000 buddhas monastery. The signs then suddenly stop. We ended up in Shatin cemetery -you need the little alley way between the cemetery / multi story. After a few seconds you will see why this is a MUST see sight. Not in any guide books the very steep climb to the monastery is lined with individual buddhas. There monastery at the top and the views are breathtaking! The MOST colourful display i have ever seen. It was definitely worth the steep trek. Take plenty of water for the climb - it is WELL worth it!!!

    The fortified Hakka village of Tsang Tai Uk, or 'Tsang's Big House', built in 1848, is the next stop on your tour. The three rows of granite, brick and timber houses were arranged to form a rectangle, all interlined by passages and courtyards, and include defensive towers at the four corners.

    The museum is an open-air museum. It encompasses the old Tai Po Market Railway Station building, a narrow gauge steam locomotive, six historical railway carriages, and a red-brick office block.
    The station building, erected in 1913, has the pitched roof of the traditional Chinese building.

    Witness a different type of culture at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, the largest of its kind in Hong Kong. Traditional Chinese design and modern construction techniques are reflected in the five-storey building with Chinese-style roofs and the courtyard characterised by a central axis. Inside, various aspects of history, arts and culture are captured in different exhibition galleries including the Cantonese Opera Heritage Hall, Children's Discovery Gallery, T.T. Tsui Gallery of Chinese Art and Hong Kong Gallery of Contemporary Art and Design.

    • Got there to find out that children under 18 are not allowed entrance. No one seemed to know that ahead of time including our hotel concierge who happily gave us directions and put us in a taxi.
