Tsz Shan Monastery

Tsz Shan Monastery (慈山寺) is a large Buddhist temple located in Tung Tsz, Tai Po District, Hong Kong. Within the monastery, there is a 76-meter tall bronze-cast white Guan Yin statue. Behind Tsz Shan Monastery is Pat Sin Leng (八仙嶺) and to its front, the Plover Cove Reservoir. The Monastery spans around 500,000 square feet. The monastery opened to the public in April 2015. The idea for the development of Tsz Shan Monastery was germinated by Mr. Li Ka-shing, Founder of Li Ka Shing Foundation. The Foundation contributed more than HK$3.3 billion to cover the land acquisition and construction costs, as well as the Monastery’s operating expenses. Tsz Shan Monastery has been open to the public since April 2015. The Tsz Shan Monastery Buddhist Art Museum, located beneath the Guan Yin statue, opened to the public in 2019.
