Everything feels big in Hong Kong, and that includes the temples and monasteries that dot the city. Among the grandest is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, which is located on a mountain behind Shatin Pai Tau Village. It's a steep climb to the top, but once you make it, you're rewarded with one of the most striking temples in China, as well as a panorama of Hong Kong that's simply breathtaking. The temple isn't very old, dating only to 1957, but the pagodas, halls, and pavilions represent a perfect rendering of ancient architectural styles, and to see robed monks wander the carefully manicured grounds is to witness a tradition that dates back thousands of years. As for the Buddhas, that 10,000 figure is actually an understatement, as the temple boasts about 12,000 statues of the Buddha, each in a different pose representing a different facet of life. It would take forever to inspect them all, so just focus on those that match your current spiritual state and go forth in peace and tranquility. It will be an experience that will stay with you forever. Starwood has three hotels in Hong Kong: the W Hong Kong, the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, and Le Méridien Cyberport.
