#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Recommending the Unseen Places to Visit in Hong Kong: Paying Homage to the Big Goddess of Mercy at Tsz Shan Monastery, Locals Call It Chi San Ji If you come to Hong Kong, you must visit this temple. It is a temple that requires a reservation 1 month in advance because they limit the number of visitors per day. But when we went, we booked 2 days in advance and got it because someone canceled. We were so lucky. But it is best to book in advance. The highlight is the huge Goddess of Mercy statue, which is the 2nd largest in the world. If you want to receive positive energy back to Thailand, this temple is the answer. The atmosphere is very good. It is a mountain and you can see the sea. How to get there: Take the MRT to Tai Po Market Station, use Exit A3, then take the Mini Bus No. 20T to the entrance of the temple, then walk up the hill for about 10-15 minutes. However, if you go on a holiday, the bus will stop right in front of the temple. For those who do not want to walk, use Exit B and take a taxi to the temple gate.
