Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery

My last full day in Hong Kong included a very special trip to one of the most exquisite gardens - the Nan Lian Garden near Diamond Hill MTR station. A short walk away from the station is the entrance to a most unique free garden, built by the local Buddhist community as a sanctuary in the city. The garden includes a number of significant features including the Temple of Absolute Perfection, a lotus pond and sundial, and stunning large stones places inside and out for ones' total sensory delight. Inside the garden is a vegetarian restaurant with delicious meals in a peaceful atmosphere. But, the real delight of the venue is the Chi Lin Nunnery where this beautiful temple houses an exquisite golden representation of the goddess of compassion. Farewell, Hong Kong.
