This place is easy to get to. If you come by public transport all u need to do is to take Mtr to Shatin, Exit B. At exit B turn left there should be a bridge / walk way to lead you to Pau Tau Village. Still with some old houses. At the corner there is a shop that sells sweets and snacks. From there, there is a faded sign to tell you to go to this place. It started with stairs but easy to get to. The hike is easy and have beautiful flowers along the way. Upon arrival to the Christian center, you really feel very peaceful. Even in a misty and cloudy day, it does have its beauty. The architecture is Chinese and it is absolutely beautiful that they can still keep it. Worth a visit. There is a labyrinth and a lotus flower pond and its worth walking to go and see. The area is filled with birds chirping and wonderful flowers and trees. After visiting this place you can continue the walk to head to Fo Tan. Along the way u will see a lot of trees , views and flowers.
2. Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery (Man Fat Sze)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,321 reviews
A steep climb to reach, but efforts are rewarded with over 12,000 Buddhas both outside and inside the temple. There is no admission fee. A small restaurant at the top offers refreshments, but bring your own water for the trail.

I have been to the Big Buddha and while this is very impressive and set in beautiful landscape, I have to admit that I think I prefer the 10,000 buddha's purely because there's so much more to see. Be sure to check-out a sight like 'Discover Hong Kong' for the detailed route for how to get to the starting point as it's not an easy place to find. You essentially come out of the MTR station and walk behind a shopping mall down to the end of a dead end road and turn down a path which looks like it's private property.......but keep going! The buddha's start appearing as soon as you reach the first step and follow you all the way up to the top. With a variety of different poses and characters to see, they are highly entertaining and great for photo's! However, be aware that there are a lot of steps to get to the top so if you're coming here in the height of summer, with the heat and high humidity and you're not particularly used to exercise, then you may find these steps a bit of a challenge. But bring plenty of water and just take it slow, because it's worth it when you get to the top! The pagoda's and the main temple are lovely to walk around and then you can continue on a little further around the corner to see the large white buddha emerging from the rocks, designed like a water feature. If you're up to it I would recommend visiting the Buddha's in the morning and then taking the MTR back down to Wong Tai Sin to see the Temple and wishing well gardens and then onto Diamond Hill station (both stops are on the green line) to see Nan Lian Gardens and Chi Lin Nunnery - you may want to spread your temples out though, but this is doable to do in a day, especially if you're staying over on HK island and don't want to make 2 trips out this way during your stay.
3. Ma On Shan Promenade

In a bustling metropolis like Hong kong, it is often hard to catch a breath and admire the sceneries and appreciate the world. The Ma On Shan Promenade is urban planning at its finest, providing a space for citizens to exercise, socialise, and recharge. The Ma On Shan promenade, albeit with no grand malls and hotels unlike the TST promenade, provides a chance for residents and tourists alike to exercise, socialise, and recharge without distractions or crowds next to the breathtaking view of the Tolo Harbour. Ma On Shan is a mostly-residential town within the New Territories, so food and leisure will be geared towards the local residents. However, if you’re a tourist, feel free to take a stroll and explore the unseen side of HK with numerous amounts of cha chan teng and Chinese restaurants in the town center area (of course, the Ma On Shan city centre offers a plethora of international dining choices as well).

This massive mall caters to all tastes and budgets, with over 350 stores, 50 restaurants, and Asia's first Snoopy World. Because it's popular with locals and tourists, weekends get very crowded.
