Tung Po Tor Monastery

Tung Po Tor Monastery, Buddhist temple in Lo Wai, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

Tung Po Tor Monastery stands at the foot of Tin Fat Shan in Lo Wai, Tsuen Wan. Its central Yuen Tung Po Din (rebuilt in 1949) faces the two-storey Tin Wong Din, a concrete and stone building with a timber-rafter roof and red interior columns. The upper floor of Tin Wong Din serves as a classroom and library for young monks.

The monastery was founded in 1932 by Buddhist Mau Fung as a religious center for the growing community. Its main buildings received protected status as Grade II historic structures in 2010, recognizing their architectural and cultural importance.

The monastery's name refers to Mount Putuo, the island holy site in Zhejiang, because Mau Fung found the landscape around Lo Wai similar. He renamed the hill Tin Fat Shan and the stream Sam Tip Tam. The memorial hall displays calligraphy by Hongyi, paintings by Gao Jianfu and Zhao Shao'ang, and the yellow sateen Five Garments given by Emperor Hirohito after Mau Fung's 1924 lectures in Taiwan.

The complex is accessible on foot with pathways and stairs connecting the different halls for self-guided exploration. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and be respectful, as this is an active place of worship where regular practice occurs.

The large bronze tripod stands in front of the main hall, not at the entrance; its base was made during a blast in the Sino-Japanese War. Its back is inscribed with the weight, over 600 jin, and the maker's name, making it one of Hong Kong's rare ritual bronzes.
