Tsang Tai Uk
Edit ThisNested at the foot of Lions Rock , Tsang Tai Uk is made up of four long rows of village houses with three circular entrances and a big courtyard at the front. The Village has a 3-meter thick wall, along with cannon and gun holes. The walls and buildings use to have colorful paints on them. The roof decorations were bright colors. Tsang Koon Maan spent so much money on decorating the village that he didn’t have enough money to buy the actual guns and cannons. There are also 2 wells there; the people who live more..

Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
Edit ThisThe Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is a major attraction here. More than 400 steps lead up the hillside to the temple, so strong legs and lungs are essential. Over 10,000 Buddha statues are stacked on shelves filling the walls of the main temple. Actually, there are now close to 13,000 images, all of a similar height but rendered in slightly different poses
