Ling Wan Monastery, Buddhist temple in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.

The Ling Wan Monastery features traditional Chinese architectural elements with carved stone decorations and ceramic figurines along its ridge structures.

Established during the Liu Song Dynasty between 420 and 479, the monastery underwent reconstruction in the early 1910s under the direction of the To clan.

The monastery maintains multiple halls dedicated to Buddhist ceremonies, meditation practices, and religious education for the local community and visitors.

The temple complex is accessible through public transportation options, with detailed route information available through the HKeMobility application.

The monastery's Mountain Gatehouse displays intricate Shiwan glazed ceramic opera figurines that demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship from the early 20th century.
