Where is the temple built by Li Ka-shing?
The temple built by Li Ka-shing is located in Tongzi, Tai Po District, New Territories, Hong Kong.
The wood used to build the temple is rosewood imported from Africa, and the lotus-shaped treasure covers of the three giant Buddhas in the main hall are covered with 24K gold. In addition to the high cost of building the temple itself, the value of the collection here is also immeasurable. In 2012, the President of Sri Lanka presented broken branches of the Bodhi tree, and there are also murals copied from the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, all of which are extremely precious.
Cishan Temple is the most secure temple in the world. Different from other places, when visiting Guanyin at Cishan Temple, you are not allowed to burn incense and can only "water water" instead. The purpose of building this temple is not for tourism, but to promote Buddhism. Therefore, tour groups are not accepted here, and only 400 tourists are allowed to visit every day.
