Hong Kong Day 2: Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden

Instead of visiting the most visited tourist spots in Hong Kong, I chose to visit Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. I really included this in my itinerary to discover and explore some parts of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not merely for shopping and theme parks, but there are places like Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden where you can rest and relax. It is a garden in the midst of a busy city.

It is a public park, so there’s no entrance fee. It is so easy to go here, just take the MTR from Tsim Sha Tsui all the way to Diamond Hill Station. Then exit in front of Hollywood Plaza, and you will see some signs going to Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden.

I was really amazed seeing this 3.5-hectare scenic garden, and would you believe that every hill, body of water, rock, timber structur,e and plant has been placed according to specific methods and rules.

Every corner is picture-perfect but tripod is not allowed, so it is difficult to takea family picture. I was thankful because one guard volunteered to take our family pictures.
