Tsz Shan Monastery in all aspects.
Tai Po District Council strongly supports this development, believing that tourism in the area can be developed.
Su Minfeng, a geomancer, claimed that building a temple in Dongzi could improve the land transportation and geomantic omen in Hong Kong. Tai Po Environmental Protection Association believes that this development will destroy the natural landscape of the area and may affect the nearby wetlands.
Some astronomical organizations are worried that the night lighting of Buddhist temples will cause light loss, which will affect the observation of stars in Wan Chuan, and require Buddhist temples to control the lighting.
Residents of several low-density luxury houses nearby are worried that this will bring serious traffic congestion and air pollution to Du Dawei. At present, there is only one road for Tongzi's external traffic: Jiao Ting Road, which was originally only a two-lane two-way road, but was widened to a four-lane two-way road in 2004.
Changchun Society, an environmental protection organization, believes that the public has the right to pay attention to the use of this land, because it is located on a "government, institution and community" site, and it seems that it is planned to be a small theme park rather than a purely religious use, regardless of the huge Buddha statue and the huge scale of the parking lot.
The Hong Kong Institute of Education, which is located next to Tsz Shan Monastery, also opposes this project, arguing that it is out of harmony with the nearby natural environment. If the relevant buildings are completed, the only external landscape of the Institute will be completely blocked. Moreover, the tourists brought by temples will destroy the quiet environment of the Institute of Education. In the past two years, the Institute of Education has been buying furniture to encourage students to go out of the library and computer center and enjoy the beautiful environment on campus to enhance their study. The emergence of monasteries will make students lose an environment for studying intently, and make the improvement of the school environment by the Institute of Education go to waste.
