Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, Buddhist vihara in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong

The temple complex spans across eight hectares with numerous halls, featuring golden Buddha statues along a steep stairway path through the hillside.

Built by hand under Venerable Yuet Kai's guidance, construction began in 1951 and concluded in 1957, funded entirely through public donations.

The complex contains nearly 13,000 Buddha figures, each displaying distinct facial expressions and poses, representing different aspects of Buddhist teachings.

Located near Sha Tin MTR station, the temple remains open daily without entrance fees, requiring visitors to climb 400 steps to reach the main halls.

The preserved body of founder Yuet Kai rests in the main hall, where he has remained on display since his death in 1965.
