"I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do."
Look up the hill from Sha Tin, we can see a big cross from afar. On the hill of Tao Fong Shan, looking up at the Cross, we can see our salvation, looking down at the city, we can see all sorts of lifeforms. The Big Cross was engraved with “It is finished”, which reminds followers that we ought to carry on the Kingdom’s mission.
Introduction
Forty feet high, the Big Cross was built in 1958. Standing on the hill of Tao Fong Shan, looking up at the Cross, we can see our salvation; looking down at the city, we can see life in all its forms. Rev. Karl Ludvig Reichelt (1877-1952), the founder of Tao Fong Shan, often held the evening worship service here with his students.
Meditation on Scripture

Walk With Tao Fong
Tao Fong Shan Christian Center was founded by a Norwegian missionary Rev. Karl Ludvig Reichelt from over 90 years ago. Located on a scenic hill above Sha Tin, the Centre has been accorded Grade 2 Historic Building and is considered state-of-the-art in many ways, from combining traditional Chinese architecture with Christian faith to having a rich history of nurturing interfaith and interculture dialogue to preaching gosel through Chinese Christian porcerlain art. Today, the Centre remains a melting pot of religions, cultures, and stories.
To tell the many wonderful stories and history of Tao Fong Shan, we created a series of guided tours, Walk with Tao Fong. Our staff will arrange a tour for you or your friends depending on your interests, it is a great experience for you if you hope to enjoy a day of peace and away from the city, or if you want to learn more about who we are or the story behind our traditional Chinese architecture.
