We visited the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin. The monastery is at the top of a hill. There are 431 steps to the top. The path is lined with 500 golden life-sized buddha statues. Each statue is unique. Tommy was excited to climb all the stairs to the top. It was a hot day. Charlotte got tired quickly and needed a little motivation. I tried to distract her from the steps by asking her to find 2 statues that were the same. She found a few that she thought were matches at first, but we could always find a difference.

| Golden statues |
At the top, there were a lot of large statues as well as the main temple that had walls full of smaller golden statues. There were easily 10,000 buddhas just in that temple. There was also a restaurant at the top. It was too early to eat a meal, but we had a couple of yummy spring rolls to snack on.

Going back down the steps was much easier than going up!
