Not really a monastery, this temple run by Buddhist laypersons hosts a great many sometimes eccentric sculptures and good views out across Sha Tin. It is truly authentic Hong Kong, and is a good place to get away from the crowds.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
This is not one of the top attractions than most tourists think of when coming to Hong Kong but I would consider it a must see. I have been to Hong Kong before and have been to the Peak, Stanley, Ngong Ping, etc. Why is Man Fat Sze a must see attraction,

A winding set of stairs take you to the top of this semi kitsch monastery, and along the way you are very likely to be greeted by monkeys! One word of caution, take the time to read the monkey guidelines at the bottom of the staircase!
take a map and go by metro conexion with local train to visit and walking up this beautiful monastery, and envoy the locals and the 1000 budas. Go
