What a glorious place, so peaceful that again its difficult to appreciate where we actually are, in the middle of Kowloon! The craftsmanship alone is worth seeing, its just fantastic and free!!

Chi Lin Nunnery is another attraction right beside Nan Lian Garden. You can reach this place via the MTR and get off at Diamond Hill station. Upon exit you will see the Plaza Hollywood.
