Xi Fang Temple – A Serene Buddhist Sanctuary in Hong Kong

Xi Fang Temple is nestled in the ancient village of Kwai Tsing, Hong Kong, with the backdrop of Tai Mo Shan Mountain and facing the serene San Die Tan. Surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil waters, the temple offers a peaceful and serene environment.

The central structure of the temple is a two-story replica of a Chinese palace, known as the Mahavira Hall. The ground floor is the ‘Wu Guan Hall’, which serves as the vegetarian dining hall. In front of this stands the ‘Heavenly Kings Hall’, which enshrines the Maitreya Buddha and the Four Heavenly Kings, with the ‘Bell Tower’ and ‘Drum Tower’ on either side.
