The Temple of 10,000 Buddhas


While in Hong Kong, I took the train to Sha Tin and the monastery of the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas. The monastery is high up on a hill with over 400 steps to climb. Along both sides of the stairway are life size Buddha statues painted gold with colourful accents. There were a few hundred and more on the other path which I took down the mountain, but I couldn't figure out where the 10,000 came from. Here we see the entrance to the temple.
