Wanfo Temple is located in Pai Tou Village, opposite the Sha Tin Railway Station, and was founded by Master Yue Xi in 1949 and completed in 1957. The temple is nestled against the mountain, divided into two groups of buildings, high and low, with a total of 5 halls, 4 pavilions, 1 corridor, and 1 tower.
Inside the temple, there are tens of thousands of Buddha statues and the incorruptible body of ‘Master Yue Xi’.
On the 15th day of the first lunar month for the Lantern Festival and the 8th day of the fourth lunar month for the Buddha Bathing Festival, the temple also holds Dharma assemblies, presided over by the masters who chant sutras to pray for economic prosperity and world peace.
