Tsz Shan Monastery, Buddhist vihara in Tai Po District, Hong Kong
The monastery contains three main buildings with courtyards on platforms rising up a hill, featuring dark African padauk wood and white-grey granite elements throughout.
The Li Ka Shing Foundation invested over 3.3 billion Hong Kong dollars to establish this Buddhist complex, which opened its doors in April 2015.
The architectural design incorporates elements from Tang, Northern Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties, spanning six centuries of Chinese Buddhist building traditions.
Visitors must register in advance through an online system, and groups of up to six people can access the monastery free of charge from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
A 76-meter white Guan Yin statue stands at the center, featuring self-cleaning paint and holding a wisdom pearl in her right hand.
