This is a Christian Centre founded and built upon a ridge above Sha Tin between 1930 and 38 by Norwegian missionary Karl Ludvig Reichelt. The Eentre grounds are open to the public, allowing all to explore the unique Grade II historic buildings, seeing unique examples of Chinese architecture with western Christian elements. The trail leading up to Tao Fung Shan start just outside the Sha Tin MTR Station and require a 20-25 minute uphill walk, partly along a paved path through mountainside forest and then up the To Fung Shan Road until you recent the Centre. Within the Centre, visitors will find plenty of signage and basic history information explaining what you are looking at and when various building structures were constructed. There are courtyards with moon gate entrance, a delightful octagonal pavilion like 'Christ Temple'. Other highlights include a 12 metre tall cross facing the township of Sha Tin and a stone labyrinth and lotus pond. Note: There are public toilets near the Entrance Archway as well as a small Art Shop and Information Centre in the building beside the Christ Temple. Overall, the Tao Fung Shan Christian Centre is a peaceful location and an interesting historic place that you probably won't find in tourism information or tour guidebooks for Hong Kong. Thus, not likely a place many first time visitors to the city will make or have time to see. However, for expats or regular visitors wanting to check out new and different places, the Tao Fung Shan Christian Centre might be a place with making effort to visit.

We have a lovely visit to Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre in Shatin. It's a little hike from Shatin Station to Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre, but it's a nice walk. The center has traditional Chinese architecture for Christian facilities. So the chapel looks like a Chinese temple, which is quite interesting. There is a giant cross in the woods that is visible from the Shatin town center. It's also a nice walk toward the cross. The complex's art shop has beautiful porcelain with Chinese paintings or bible stories with Chinese characters, which is also very interesting.
