Tsing Shan Monastery

This Grade I historic building complex features multiple halls, including Hong Kong's largest traditional Chinese-style main hall and a pagoda with Sanskrit inscriptions.

The monastery traces its origins to the Eastern Jin dynasty period 1,500 years ago, first established as Pu Du Temple before changing names throughout centuries.

The monastery maintains the tradition of ordination ceremonies, rotating with two other temples in Hong Kong every three years in the 'Three Mountains Ordination' system.

The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with access via Light Rail routes 610 and 615 to Tsing Wan station, followed by a 30-minute uphill walk.

The temple grounds include the Cup-Crossing Rock Cave, where the legendary monk Cup-Crossing Master reportedly resided during his time at Tsing Shan.
