Ching Leung Fat Yuen, Buddhist nunnery and Grade III historic building in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong.

Ching Leung Fat Yuen is a Buddhist complex at 21 milestone of Castle Peak Road in Fu Tei, Tuen Mun, near Dip Yin Ting and Ji Le Temple. It consists of four single-storey buildings; its Buddha Hall, completed in April 1928, and Jing En Cottage are both listed as Grade III historic buildings.

Ching Leung Fat Yuen was founded in 1912 by the lay Buddhist Li Gongda as a hall originally called Xixiang Yuan, named for the fragrant camphor trees planted on the site. Its Buddha Hall was completed in April 1928 and renovated in 1963. In the 1970s the nun Jinggen founded the Buddhist Jianxiu Kindergarten here, named after the site's first abbot, Jianxiu; in September 1990 she donated the school building and HK$100,000 to Pok Oi Hospital, which renamed it Pok Oi Hospital Jianxiu Kindergarten.

The name Ching Leung Fat Yuen replaced the original Pik Heung Yuen, meaning Fragrant Osmanthus Garden, after the osmanthus trees planted on the site. The Jing En Cottage now serves vegetarian set meals, and the kindergarten founded here in the 1970s was named after the first abbot, Venerable Gin Sau.

Ching Leung Fat Yuen stands at 21 milestone on Castle Peak Road in Fu Tei, next to Dip Yin Ting and Ji Le Temple, so it is reached by the Castle Peak Road bus corridor rather than by rail. The vegetarian restaurant in Jing En Cottage serves set meals, so time a visit around a meal. The site is a working Buddhist nunnery: dress modestly and keep voices low in the Buddha Hall.

The nunnery received Grade III historic building status, recognizing its architectural heritage and cultural value in Hong Kong. This designation is noteworthy because it shows how local religious sites are protected within the city's heritage management system.
