After Wong Tai Sin, we then visited Nan Lian Garden and the Chi Lin Nunnery, two other must see landmarks in Hong Kong. The Chi Lin Nunnery, as the name implies, is a Buddhist nunnery and is a stunning, grand, and elegant monastery complex in accordance with the Tang dynasty architecture.
Nan Lian Garden is basically a park amid the high-rise apartment blocks of Hong Kong in the Chi Lin Nunnery complex. It was built in the ancient style of the Tang dynasty (AD 618-906), meticulously landscaped, in which every hill, rock, body of water, plant and timber structure is placed according to specific rules and methods, over an area of 3.5 hectares. Famous spot in Nan Lian Garden is this:
And there's this smoking terraced lawn in front:
A walk further inside the garden, will reward you with this:
Syempre, kailangan may photo din with me in it! It was a bit sunny...

P.S.
I really like this photo I took, while infront of the Chi Lin Nunnery:
