About Tsing Shan Monastery

The Tai Hung Po Din roof carries Shiwan glazed ceramic figures drawn from opera, while the mountain gatehouse and other halls use carefully worked mouldings. The Heung Hoi Ming Shan archway introduces the complex. Focus on these architectural details and the changing hillside levels, respecting worship and any closed sections of the grounds.

What to look for

  • Shiwan glazed opera figures decorate the ridge of Tai Hung Po Din.
  • The mountain gatehouse and Heung Hoi Ming Shan archway introduce the monastery’s ornamented architecture.
