Originally, we were planning on going to The Peak via the funicular railway in order to get a view of the city. However, given it was a Chinese holiday, there were massive crowds so we decided to take the MRT to Shatin to take a look at the 10,000 Buddhas. Hong Kong Gardens which are near the entrance to the Funicular railway  were worth a look before we took the train to Shatin. 

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery (Man Fat Tsz) is located at Po Fook Hill at Pai Tau Village, Sha Tin in the New Territories.

When you exit Shatin station google maps helps you in the right direction but then, once past the multi-storey car park, on the left, there is a poorly marked path which takes you to the entrance . You then follow a steep climb surrounded by the Buddhas. The link may help: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vumaHW8n7awzixvr7

Entrance is free and it’s an interesting experience. At the top there is the monastery and interesting artefacts.

Given we were flying to Aukland that evening, we retraced out steps to the hotel, packed and then used the MRT back to the airport for an overnight flight.
