History

Ling To Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in Hong Kong. It was legendarily built by a monk Bei Du () in the Eastern Jin dynasty (317-420). He first came to Castle Peak and later to Ling To Mountain () where he built the monastery. The original monastery was at the back of the present site but it was abandoned due to the dilapidation of the old structure. The current monastery was built in 1927.Historic Building Appraisal
