Chuk Lam Sim Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:51:53

In a lovely bucolic setting, Chuk Lam Sim (Bamboo Forest) Monastery is one of the larger temple complexes in Hong Kong. The temple was completed in 1932 when (legend has it) Tou Tei, the earth god, told an elderly monk to build it. The second temple contains three of the largest golden Buddhas in the territory, while the third contains another large image of Lord Gautama.

The monastery is northeast of Tsuen Wan MTR station. To reach it, take green minibus 85 from Shiu Wo St.
