Noteworthy, it was Yuet Kai, a monk who preached Buddhism in a local monastery, founded The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in 1951. The construction of the monastery began in 1949. Despite his old age, Yuet Kai carried the buildings materials personally from the foot of the mountain together with his disciples to build the monastery.

Meanwhile, it took eight years to complete all the buildings and another ten years to finish the 12,800 Buddha statues. And today, his preserved body is presented in the main hall of the monastery in a glass case, often the main attraction of the temple.
