Pictures from the Archives

I was going through photos and realized I hadn't published these. The 10,000 Buddhas Monastery is located on the northern side of Hong Kong and was built in the 1980's and continues to accumulate really random Buddhas. It sits high in the hills and requires quite a hike, but the hike is entertaining in that the path is lined with a different Buddha statue every few yards.

Unique and certainly exotic, the meaning behind the Buddhas was a mystery to us on our visit as there was little information in English. The whole site was by far the most rustic of tourist spots that I have seen in Hong Kong. The 10,000 Buddhas name comes from for the main hall of the monastery that has thousands of tiny Buddhas lining the walls.



The Buddhas continue to multiply as we saw more than a dozen or so that were being painted and polished on our visit.
