Visit Tsing Shan Monastery - 青山禪院

Tsing Shan Monastery - 青山禪院 in Tuen Mun is one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in Hong Kong, Tsing Shan hosts 3 famous buildings the Pui To Pagoda, Tsing Wan Koon, and the Tsing Shan Temple.

Some say the temple site originated as far back as the Jin dynasty (265–420 AD) but most scholars believe the site was developed during the Song (960-1279 AD). The monastery's history was later recounted in the Dongguan Gazetteer in 1464 and the Xinan Gazetteer in 1688 and 1819. Including historical structures and beautiful artifacts, the gate also features a famous Shiwan 石湾镇街道 ceramic arch, which is considered a treasure.

We'll gather at Siu Hong MTR Station and jump on the Light Rail to the temple. One thing to note, there are steps! I mean A LOT of steps. I haven't counted them, but let's just say that if you're not ready for them, they can be a "transcendent experience". Please wear comfy shoes! You've been warned...

We'll be gathering at the Siu Hong MTR station at Exit C1/C2, which is the Light-rail station there. Once we're all together, we'll get on the 610 tram to Tien Mun Ferry Terminal, alighting at the Tsing Shan Tsuen stop, which is about 15 minutes away. Please remember that the Siu Hong MTR station is about an hour from Tsim Sha Tsui, so plan your trip accordingly. We'll leave the MTR station at about 9:40, so if you miss is just proceed downstairs to the light rail station and catch up.
