Chuk Lam Sim Yuen, Buddhist temple in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong
Chuk Lam Sim Yuen is a Buddhist temple in Tsuen Wan District situated on the southern slopes of Mount Fu Yung, featuring multiple halls, pavilions, and gardens distributed across the grounds. The complex includes several shrine areas and spaces connected by pathways that form a cohesive place of worship.
The temple was founded in 1928 when Venerable Rong Qiu constructed initial bamboo structures, and the first permanent stone building was completed by 1932. These early years shaped the site's development from humble beginnings into a substantial religious complex.
The main shrine houses statues of Buddha Shakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha, which visitors encounter as central figures in worship here. Golden arhat statues throughout the temple grounds embody spiritual teachings that reflect how people practice their faith at this site.
The temple is accessible by minibus route 85 or bus route 51, and the grounds are open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Pathways connect different areas throughout the site, making it easy to explore the various gardens and courtyards at your own pace.
The temple houses a garden containing 500 arhat statues and a special Bodhi garden featuring a four-faced Buddha statue on a golden ceremonial platform. This focused collection of religious art figures represents an uncommon concentration of such works in one location.
