What would you expect to find next door to the Big Buddha? The answer is, of course, the largest Buddhist monastery in Hong Kong. Once a peaceful haven for Buddhist monks, this monastery is now firmly on the tourist trail. Wander around the temples, take in the views of the surrounding lush countryside and do not forget to sample some of the vegetarian cooking served by the monks in a huge dining hall. Try to get to the monastery via Mui Wo, and you will experience a truly hair-raising bus journey along narrow, steep and windy roads. Great fun!
