The Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden is a project put together by the Buddhist Association of Canada. It’s been decades in the making and although the grounds of the project are still under construction, it’s now open to the public to visit. The compound is being built as a bridge between East and West and to allow for pilgrimage for practicing Buddhists (and visitors). The big attraction is the completed temple that you can enter and the trails to the other points of interest. You can easily spend half a day here walking the trails to all the sights.

You’ll find the Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden at 708 Ski Hill Rd, Cavan-Monaghan, ON L0A 1A0. It’s located about 1.5 hours east of Toronto and 30 minutes west of Peterborough (to give you an idea of whereabout in Ontario you’ll find it). The 1.5 hours from Toronto will heavily vary depending on where you’re coming from.

The compound is huge, but you enter from one main entrance and then you can drive left or right depending on what you want to explore. We found mobile connection within the temple very spotty, so sending each other live location was not working because Google Maps would direct to some roads outside of the temple. Much easier to just decide where to meet up and go from there.
