A beautiful monastery just down Tian Tan buddha. I highly recommend to visit it as there are incredibles decorations and unique architectural style. I especially like the entrance although a bit crowded.

Get an exclusive look behind the delightful underwater garden of Sea Jelly Spectacular at Ocean Park Hong Kong! Over 1,000 jellyfish of all sizes, shapes and colors from around the world can be seen floating in state-of-the-art tanks designed with the latest technology in lighting, music and multimedia special effects. You will also get to chat with the people responsible for the care of various types of jellyfish as they share valuable information about life cycle stages and conservation efforts geared toward preserving the species. There’s even a demonstration of how jellyfish keepers prepare brine shrimp to feed these colorful, free-swimming aquatic animals!

I absolutely loved my time here I get to see Hongkong locals doing their traditions (bowing and lighting incense sticks) making little donations, I was immersed just buy looking at the statues of Buddha wondering if it can feel my presence and hear my thoughts ☺️☺️ Inside felt peaceful,it might be a tourist attraction site but it holds more than that It's wonderful ❤️

The vegetarian dishes that were available were lacking in offer by the time we got there (around 3pm) but the snack food was very nice. The 煎䭔, sesame balls were really crispy but was lacking a bit in the black sesame paste - there was noticeably more air than paste 😅 The 麵筋, or wheat gluten was really flavourful and a good substitute if you’ve had a lot of meat during your holiday! It was quieter in the late afternoon but I can imagine it being very busy very fast at mid afternoon.

Po Lin Monastery is a Buddhist monastery, located on Ngong Ping Plateau, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong The monastery was founded in 1906 by three monks visiting from Jiangsu Province on the Chinese mainland and was initially known simply as "The Big Hut" (大茅蓬 Tai Mao Pung). It was renamed to its present name in 1924. The main temple houses three bronze statues of the Buddha – representing his past, present and future lives – as well as many Buddhist scriptures. This monastery is also noted for making wooden bracelets that are only sold near the Tian Tan Buddha statue. In 1918, three nuns ordained at this monastery established a private nunnery called Chi Chuk Lam (紫竹林) on Lantau's Lower Keung Hill (下羌山). The nunnery is dedicated to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. There were about 20 jushi and nuns residing there in the 1950s, but now only an elderly abbess remains

A joy of not having you many tourist is that you get to enjoy the place a lot more. Surprised to see how decorated the place is with lanterns and Christmas flowers. Foggy and at times raining does gives this place q different feel. The relative calmness and silence of the place and the cows really make it very enjoyable. We have a set vegetarian lunch. The price was very reasonable and tasty.

Loved it, the cable car mainly crystal cable car is an amazing experience. And the walking path was also another amazing thing. I went their through crystal cable car and returned through walking and hiking path of 6km through forest area under cable car. And the Nong Pong village is also nice.

Most popular temple in area. The surrounding was clean and well maintaned. There is garden, shop, restaurant and 2 main temple building here. The garden is nice and peaceful. The temple interior also pretty. Free to enter, You can relax in the garden area or try their food on restaurant.

Small and commercialized. Think the main reasons people come here are it's a nice add-on to seeing the Buddha (bonus points for being free admission), plus it has a vegetarian restaurant or side food vendors near it that you can get healthier food at if you don't want to dine at the tourist trap area upfront. Favourite parts: the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the huge coy fish in the pond, and the new 'thus come' exhibit.

Unfortunately, not too many visitors on Monday (1 Feb 2021) due to the threat of COVID - 19. Also, the big Buddha is under renovation so not too much to see. Hope the renovation project can be completed at the earliest convenience.

Hiking from Lantau peak to Ngong ping Big Buddha, to Po Lin Monastery,, great adventure!!

good place for relax, and nice vegetable food.

Due to Covid 19, there weren’t crowds in 360 cable car and Po Lin Monastery which pretty enjoyable. It’s my first time to have veggie meal in the monastery restaurant. There were fixed menus, food choices, quality and cooking were very satisfactory.

This grand & famous monastery has become overtly commercialized over the decades. The vegan restaurant offers one of the worst value meal in HK. Only fixed menus ($110 & 150) are offered, both comprises of 3 dishes & 1 soup, none tasty.

Nice as I love being in nuture..

Visited in January 2020. Not many tourists due to the recent riots in HK do the perfect time to visit! Peaceful but imagine it can get very busy.

Po Lin Monastery at Ngong Pong in Lantau Island, Hong Kong was founded during 1906. Lush green hilltop quiet and beautiful natural place. Just in the opposite side of Big Buddha. The two temples is multi coloure traditional and magically constructed. Calm place for prayer and religious activities. Especially the 10000 Buddha temple is really unimaginable.

One of two main giant Buddah statues in Hong Kong. Very new, and very worth going. Need to book a place and time in advance though, but you get a tea and lunch. Fun little stamp finding quest you can go on too n

Very nice to see tourism in Hong Kong

The Jelly Spectacular inside the Grand Aquarium at Hong Kong's Ocean Park is a beautiful display, just watching these unusual and unique creatures move is such a relaxing and calming thing to stand and do.

Even though this attraction is rather short, there are different kids of jellyfish with some light effects. Walking though is an overall nice experience for young and old.

I worry about sea jellyfish if I swim in the sea. Behind a water tank with lightings, I enjoy seeing them. They come in all shapes and variations that one can never dream of!

Very spectacular. Went there very early, and there was no one at all

I could honestly spend hours in here. It’s peaceful, the jellyfish intoxicating in the way they swim and the music in the background just relaxes you.

The trip to the jellyfish is worth it. The exhibit is pretty awesome and thoughtfully done. There's an interactive activity that snaps a pic of your face and places you on a jellyfish. The one downside: it's very small. It'll take you 5-7 minutes to walk through.

Tempting as it is to just go back after trekking up those stairs to see the Buddah, don't leave before going to the Monastery too! It's great, really stunning and has some lovely little exhibitions explaining the history and production of the complex. Only 4 stars because it seems to be perpetually going through building works!

good

so much enjoy watching the jelly😁

Pretty place with many variety of jellyfish

Asian marine animals very educational for the kids.

Unfortunately, the Big Buddha is being renovated and now it is fully covered. However, the Po Lin monastery itself is beautiful, serene and an intriguing place. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful. There is little crowd and there are plenty of options to eat at the Ngong Ping village. You can also try some chocolate colouring at the "Art of Chocolate" shop in the Ngong Ping village.

relax your mind and look to bhuda is great

Very beautifully constructed monastery. Great for locals and tourists who are interested in Buddhism. Unfortunately the big Buddha was under renovation during our visit.

Po Lin Monastery is a Buddhist monastery, located on Ngong Ping Plateau, on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The monastery was founded in 1906 by three monks visiting from Jiangsu Province on the Chinese mainland and was initially known simply as "The Big Hut". It was renamed to its present name in 1924.

To me, this is the best Buddist temple in the world. I have been visiting this place since I was a little kid almost 40 years ago!

A beautiful Monastery, close to the small village of Ngong Ping which has plenty of sousouvenir shops and places to eat. It's a must see when visiting the village.

Po Lin Kloster, which is near at the Tian Tan Buddha, is great to look around after you visited the Buddha. Ancient architecture on the wall, along with the garden and symbols makes it atmospheric to feel, if you’re a fan of Chinese’s architecture. Definitely to check it out and visit it.

This is one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in Hong Kong. There is a vegetarian restaurant too and the food was quite good, even for a non-vegetarian like me. Unknown to many visitors, Po Lin Monastery is also offering a comprehensive set of Buddhist funeral services to those who have contributed significantly to the Monastery.

A famous buddist temple in Hong Kong. It was rather remote in the past and only accessible by bus. Now with Ngong Ping 360 cable car, it's more convenient.

It is located at Ngong Ping just beside the Ngong Ping Market. It is one of the most famous buddist monasteries in Hong Kong. The big budda is a must for visitors.

A place must go for tourist if you visited Hong Kong. Recommended to take the Ngong Ping 360 to this Monastery. It will take you a day but worth for your time.

We went there on a rainy day and it was a unique feel. Just take bus no 23 from another terminal located close to Sha Tin bus terminal and enjoy the beautiful landscape around you. For return trip, just take the same bus from the bus stand located next to the village entrance.

I did not go inside the monastery area and I can't comment on it. The place outside the temple is a nice place to go in this ordinary working day as it is calm and not crowded. A tidy place around the entrance of the temple with very good toilets.

This is one of the most mesmerising monasteries I've ever seen. This place is easily accessible by the cable car, bus or car. Inside the monastery halls you will find some traditional restaurants - vegetarian options only. This is a working monastery and is a holy place. Be aware of your behaviour and do not disturb the silence. And just nearby this monastery there is a Big Buddha statue - Tian Tan Buddha.

Amazing monastery on a mountain in Hong Kong. Easily accessible by hiking, bus or cable car. Restaurant is inside of the halls of the monastery. (Vegetarian options) Be aware to remain silent and don't disturb the praying monks. Around the corner of this place you'll find the Tian Tan Buddha.

The Po Lin Monastery is worth a trip. The facility is well maintained. There is an impressive new media display of the history behind this monastery.

Peaceful monastery of which both inner and outer architecture are impressive. Place is in good shape. Lots of details. The carving carpenters did an outstanding work. A must see.

Beautiful temple buildings. Restaurant and toilets are available on site. If you are sensitive to smoke, beware of all the incense wafting around.

Located on Lantau Island, this peaceful spot offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. It's an ideal place for quiet reflection and contemplation. The monastery is home to several notable architectural structures, including the Main Shrine Hall of Buddha and the Hall of Bodhisattva Skanda. The monastery is well-known for producing wooden bracelets, which are exclusively sold in the vicinity of the Tian Tan Buddha statue.

A huge big Buddha can be found over there. Visit during November with the cold weather. Able to walk around with comfort. Other than being able to view the Big Buddha. There is a temple beside it that has a lot of Buddha. Inside the temple, there is vegetarian food for us to purchase and have it.

Pleasant ride to Ngong Ping village via the cable car. Good facilities for food and souvenirs prior to 'Big Buddha' plus the odd wandering cow from a nearby village. Overall, highly recommended as you only pay for the cable car ride.

The Po Lin Monastery was great! Very pretty and you can light incense at the entrance. There's a line at the cafeteria but we didn't wait so long even though it was the weekend. It depends on how big your group is.

Let's shift to a more present-day storytelling style: Picture this: I found myself on Lantau Island, surrounded by lush landscapes, heading towards Po Lin Monastery. It's a place where spirituality meets natural beauty, and I'm about to take you along on this modern-day adventure: I started my journey by hopping onto the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. As it glided above the island's stunning scenery, I couldn't help but be captivated by the views. Upon reaching the top, I stood in awe of the Tian Tan Buddha, a colossal bronze figure that seemed to touch the sky. Climbing the steps for a closer look, I soaked in the breathtaking vistas of Lantau Island. Inside Po Lin Monastery, the soft chants of monks created a serene atmosphere. It was a moment of quiet reflection amidst the hustle and bustle of the world. Lunchtime called for a treat at the monastery's restaurant, where I savored a delicious vegetarian meal. The flavors were a delightful surprise, showcasing the culinary talents here. For those looking for peace and tranquility, arriving early is a wise choice. It allows you to fully embrace the peaceful ambiance and experience the spirituality of this special place.

Just beside the Ngong Ping Buddha, this monestery is a big one. The statues and building are beautifully carved and decorated. Keep in mind, photos are not allowed inside the main temple, so please don't do that even if no one is keeping watch. Respect the culture and rules.

This Monastry is well worth a visit, the Buddha and its size is amazing, being abkento enter the museum, and look around at the articles and history was an excellent addition. The monastery was very grand and ornate and worth a look as well, we spent a good 3 to 4 hours here taking in the splendour of the site and location
