Tsz Shan Monastery, a must-see place in Hong Kong

Every time I plan a trip to Hong Kong, I never miss this place. No matter how many times I've been there, I always feel a sense of peace and tranquility. This is Tsz Shan Monastery.

From waiting in line to entering until I finally step inside, every step brings joy to my heart. The place is shady, clean, and free of trash. The staff are friendly. Every building is truly beautiful, with the sea in front and mountains in the back.

Tsz Shan Monastery was founded by Mr. Li Ka-shing. Bookings are required in advance via the website; walk-ins are not allowed, and admission is limited to 500 people per day.

The highlight of this place is the large statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. People flock to pay their respects. There's a place where you can pour water into a wooden shell, then slowly walk up to the statue and pour it into the basin in front. I personally think that walking there allows you to meditate and truly be with yourself, as you have to carefully hold the water so it doesn't spill out of the shell.

There's also a museum with numerous Buddha statues from various countries for you to visit. After your afternoon visit, there's a cafeteria where you can relax and enjoy free tea, coffee, and cake. It's truly worth a visit.
