Po Lam Monastery, Buddhist temple on Lantau Island, Hong Kong
The monastery contains several halls and pavilions, including the Main Shrine Hall with three bronze statues representing Buddha's past, present, and future lives.
Three monks from Jiangsu Province established the temple in 1906, initially naming it 'The Big Hut' before changing it to Po Lam Monastery in 1924.
The monastery maintains traditional Buddhist practices through regular ceremonies, meditation sessions, and educational programs that teach Buddhist principles to visitors and practitioners.
Visitors can reach the monastery via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car from Tung Chung or by bus, with the site open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The monastery's dining facilities prepare vegetarian meals following Buddhist dietary guidelines, offering visitors an opportunity to experience authentic temple cuisine.
