Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery

#bucketlistreboot Hong Kong is a truly fascinating city, where the East meets West. You will be amazed by the architecture and the tall skyscrapers dominating the landscape; astonished by the contrasting views and landscapes of the different islands and will certainly enjoy the variety of food the city has to offer. To get away from the crows of Kowloon, I would strongly recommend visiting the Nan Lian Garden – a Chinese classical garden with amazing bonsai trees and huge Koi carp fish. Whilst there, pay a visit to the Chi Lin Nunnery – a large Buddhist temple complex featuring statues made from gold, clay, wood and stone. A great way to enjoy a beautiful peaceful walk after the busy streets and night life of Hong Kong.

The Tang-style temple is a rare sight

The Zhi Lian Jing Yuan temple is designed based on the 'Contemplation of Infinite Life Sutra' mural from Cave 172 North of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The layout centers on a main axis, reflecting the symmetrical and balanced architectural style of the Tang era. A small portion of the construction techniques also adopts the Japanese 'Wa-yo' style. The entire building is constructed entirely of hinoki wood, making it the largest hand-built wooden structure in the world today.

Chung Yan Tung Sun Care Home in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong

In the bustling and towering metropolis of Hong Kong, there is a Buddhist pure land full of ancient charm - the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. This group of Tang-style buildings is located at the southern foot of Diamond Hill in Kowloon, and its creator is a Buddhist nun who is obsessed with Tang Dynasty art. She begged for alms from all directions and built it over the years. In 2012, it was included in the tentative list of World Heritage Sites announced by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, making it a unique flower in the Chinese architectural world. Nan Lian Garden features a pond and a hill named after the Arhat, with pine trees as the main element and various peculiar rocks as the backdrop, creating the natural charm of mountains and forests pursued by Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty gardens emphasized the natural charm of mountains and forests, so the architectural style was relatively secondary, and the more important aspect was the landscape sequence composed of mountains, waters, flowers, trees, and pavilions.

Chi Lin Nunnery

Chi Lin Nunnery is one of my favourites in Hong Kong. Been here thrice and still looking forward to visit it again. Inside the temple is a feeling of peace and quiet. You can solemnly pray here. The fond inside have a calming effect. Silence is being observed. This place is adjacent to Nan Lian Garden. #holidayvacation #tripinspired #tripmoments
