Today we went to the Nan Lian Garden in Kowloon. It's a beautiful park and all the plants are precisely pruned.
Inside the garden is the Chi Lin Nunnery. This place is truly beautiful and peaceful, one of my favorite places in Hong Kong. The architecture of the buddhist temple is of the Tang dynasty and made entirely from Canadian lumber from Vancouver. The grounds are filled with wonderful bonsai. There is a large gold statue of the Buddha and other bodhisattvas (no photos allowed). The serenity of the space is nicely filled with the repetitive chanting of orange robe clad monks singing mantra.
