Shrine of a thousand abandoned Buddhas
An old man would collect all of the statues he came across and fix those that were broken. Eventually people started giving him their effigies directly that he ended up with a collection of thousands of statues, and he needed a home for them.
It is believed that the old man chose this spot, in a park near the waterfront in Wah Fu, Aberdeen, because this place already had a statue of Tin Hau, the patron goddess of fishermen, and he thought it'd make it easier for people to come and see both the Buddhas and the goddess of the sea at the same time.
This area has been home to fishermen hundreds of years. Legend has it that the old man wanted the Buddhas to protect the fishermen.
