Ascension House charges from 150HKD per night!
If you are looking for a place to have a personal retreat, or just a place to rest while you explore Hong Kong, Ascension House is an ideal choice. Located in the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre, Ascension House provides a simple yet beautiful environment which rests the soul. Built in the 1930's, in the style of a Chinese Buddhist monastery, for dialogue between Christians and Buddhists, Tao Fong Shan offers a tranquil space which is virtually unmatched in Hong Kong. Visitors may also attend the morning, midday and evening prayers of the Centre, which are a central part of the communal lifestyle here.
Ascension House began to host backpackers in 1986. Traveling requires an adventurous spirit leaving one's comfort zone, and entering an unfamiliar place. It is not only a journey of the body, but also the soul and spirit. Ascension House is a place where travelers from different countries, and with different beliefs and philosophies, gather for rest, renewal and friendship. Tao Fong Shan (including Ascension House) is a non-profit organization.
The managers of Ascension House are volunteers from Scandinavia. They live in Ascension House and are glad to share their home with you.
