Tao Fung Shan, Religious center in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.

The Tao Fung Shan Christian Centre stands on a 130-meter hill, featuring an octagonal chapel, a library, and Chinese-style architectural elements throughout its buildings.

Danish architect Johannes Prip-Moller designed the center in 1930 for Norwegian missionary Karl Ludvig Reichelt, who relocated from Nanjing during the Chinese civil war.

The center combines Chinese architectural traditions with Christian elements, demonstrated through its art shop selling Chinese-style Christian paintings and hand-painted porcelain.

Visitors can reach the center via a 20-minute hiking trail from Sha Tin Station or take a taxi from Tai Wai for approximately 25 Hong Kong dollars.

A 12-meter-high cross faces Sha Tin valley, while a meditation labyrinth sits next to a lotus pond within the center's grounds.
