Our Lady of Joy Abbey, Trappist monastery in Islands District, Hong Kong.

The stone monastery stands on the hills of Tai Shui Hang, featuring a chapel, garden courtyard, and inscribed gates between Mui Wo and Discovery Bay.

Chinese monks established the monastery in 1955 after fleeing the Chinese Civil War, relocating from their previous locations in mainland China.

The monastery combines Eastern and Western religious elements, incorporating Chinese pagodas alongside traditional Benedictine architectural features and Latin inscriptions.

Visitors can reach the monastery through a 7-kilometer hiking path from Mui Wo or by taking a ferry to the Trappist Haven Monastery pier.

The monastery maintains a dairy production facility in Yuen Long, distributing milk products throughout Hong Kong stores since its establishment.
