Top 10 Hotels near Po Lin Monastery
We kept in mind that this was a hostel so we didn't have very high expectations. That being said, though, we wish the rooms and facilities are cleaner, given the high price of our room (it cost as much as our room in a 4-star hotel in HK). The shared toilets and showers are in dire need of a good ...
First rate hotel in walking distance from airport terminal 1. Couldn’t be better located and very quiet.
Excellent shuttle service to the airport. Nice suburb away from city. Quiet, but very convenient to shopping mall and rmt.
Very classy, newly renovated, excellent facilities. Yes, we love the pool, nice and 27m long, good for lap swim, with steam bath, sauna, jacuzzi. Excellent breakfast. A recommendation, try to book the deal with breakfast included in the price. Around hotel there are many construction work, this diminishes ...
The price is relatively high, probably worthy of 0.7 of what I paid. The room is clean and the neighborhood is quite and safe. The manager was helpful to some extent in providing directions.
We stayed here for three weeks in Jan-Feb 2018, and were impressed by the warm welcome (includes free, home-baked bread and home-cooked food), the clean and well-equipped apartment, and the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Hotels near Po Lin Monastery
One of Hong Kong's most serene landmarks is the Buddhist Po Lin Monastery, which towers above Lantau Island's Ngong Ping plateau. Three mainland Chinese monks first founded Po Lin Monastery more than a century ago. The giant 34m Tian Tan Buddha which stands next to Po Lin Monastery, however, was not completed until 1993.
Some of Po Lin Monastery's main halls are Maitreya, Weituo, and Banruo. Other important halls are the Sutra Collection Hall and the Hall of Ti-tsang Bodhisattva, which contains a 1,000kg bronze bell and a 200kg Ti-tsang Bodhisattva statue. The highlights of the Great Hall of Treasure, otherwise known as Da Xiong Bao Dian, are the three bronze Buddha statues which depict his past, present, and future lives.
Po Lin Monastery visitors can also purchase handmade wooden bracelets close to the Tian Tan Buddha statue, eat at a vegetarian restaurant, or simply soak in the sounds of birds singing and the scent of flowers while meditating in a tranquil garden. Another neighbouring landmark, the Ngong Ping 360, includes the village of Ngong Ping as well as a gondola lift which travels between Ngong Ping and Tung Chung.
