Established in 1934, the Chi Lin Nunnery is a serene oasis in Kowloon. Reflecting traditional Tang dynasty aesthetics, the entire complex is constructed without a single nail, showcasing intricate craftsmanship in its wooden structures. Within its tranquil halls, religious artefacts, sculptures and statues create an atmosphere of calm and reverence. Adjacent to the nunnery is the Nan Lian Garden, a meticulously landscaped park featuring lotus ponds, bonsai, and bougainvillaea. It is ideal if you want to take a laidback stroll along winding paths or sit quietly in reflective corners. Pro tip: look to enjoy a meal at Chi Lin Vegetarian, a vegetarian restaurant behind a cascading artificial waterfall.
