Amid the bustle and bright neon of Hong Kong, temples and shrines to Buddhism offer tranquility and provide insight into the spiritual life of locals. The Chi Lin Nunnery in the city’s heart, a Buddhist complex of gardens, comprises 16 timber-built Tang Dynasty structures recreated here without a single nail. Another pocket of serenity is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery. The entry path, which includes 400 steps, is flanked by some of the statues for which the complex is named. A peaceful monastery and a chance to try sweet do fu fa, a tofu custard, await at the top.
