Tsz Shan Monastery

Tsz Shan Monastery is home to the world’s biggest bronze statue of Guan Yin (goddess of mercy, also known as Kwun Yum in Cantonese). Sitting 76-metres-tall, the statue is twice the size of Lantau Island’s Big Buddha. The 500,000sq ft monastery took up to 12 years to complete and is designed in a style that mirrors that of the Tang dynasty. The Buddist compound features several grand halls, a striking Bodhi tree, sweeping gardens and a ‘brilliance pond’. There’s a strict limit on how many people can visit each day, so make sure you book in advance online.
