Lo Hon Monastery, Buddhist temple in Shek Mun Kap, Hong Kong
Lo Hon Monastery is a Buddhist temple nestled on Lantau Island surrounded by natural hillsides and vegetation. The grounds feature several structures built in traditional Chinese style with dedicated spaces for meditation and daily practice.
The monastery was established as a center for Buddhist contemplation on Lantau, where monks dedicated themselves to spiritual practice. Over generations, the place evolved as monks maintained and passed down their traditions to successive communities.
The monastery draws local practitioners who gather for ceremonies throughout the year, participating in rituals that anchor their spiritual lives. Walking through the grounds, you sense how this place remains woven into the religious fabric of the surrounding communities.
The monastery is accessible by public transportation to Tung Chung, followed by a walk along local trails to reach the entrance. The quieter days offer a better experience for observing the peaceful rhythm of the place without crowds.
The site marks the starting point of the Fat Mun Ancient Trail, a walking path that guides explorers into the remote landscapes surrounding the island. This hidden route connects spiritual practice with the natural scenery of Lantau's hills and forests.
