"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage."
The Labyrinth is located at the entrance of Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre, allowing visitors from the city to cool down and slow down after the short hike, to pray, and to clear their mind. Unlike mazes, it does not have multiple paths, dead ends, or high walls, leaving people feeling lost in a bewildering predicament. On the contrary, the labyrinth has a single path wherein the entrance is also the exit.
Introduction
The Labyrinth was a spiritual tool used in medieval European churches; it symbolized what a pilgrimage to Jerusalem meant. The Tao Fong Shan Labyrinth was completed in 2005, and was designed by our spiritual directors Dr. TAM Pui-Chuen, Ekman, and Mr. CHOW Tsz-Kin. It is a quiet place for retreatants to pray. Walking, praying, and meditating in the Labyrinth, is like walking on a pilgrimage road.

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.
