Spend some time here to wind down from the frenetic pace of Hong Kong. Music is played which helps to distract from the buzz of traffic . Delightful place to visit within a very short walk from Diamond Hill station. Styled in old fashioned way with manicured gardens and beautiful wooden replicas of temples on exhibition. It took me a... More

Nan lian & Chi Lin are almost a continuation of each other & a must see, a bit out of the usual travel route but worth it, Diamond Hill station plenty of Buses & Metro rail stop.

a lovely place to visit in the morning before the groups arrive. There is excellent toilets and a cafe. The views of the gardens change around every corner. A peaceful and serene garden in the middle of the hustle of Diamond hill

The Nan Lian Garden at Fengde Road in Hong Kong is an easily approachable, neat and well maintained garden full of greenery. It is at a short 10 minutes walk from Diamond Hill MTR Station , exit C-2. Chi Lin nunnery is also located within the Garden and should not be missed when visiting Nan Lian .

Only a few paces away (5 minutes walk at the most) from the Diamond Hill MTR station (exit C2) one can find a really peaceful space that takes you away from the city buzz. A very welcome break to the normal HK life whether a visitor or a resident this public park (free entry) is designed in the style of... More

Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery are connected via an overbridge. So, I will write about both together. It is remarkable, how the atmosphere changes dramatically after entering the garden. It is barely 5 mins walk from the MTR exit (get down at Diamond Hill). Very quiet place. On the day I visited, it was misty and drizzling. It... More

What a hidden gem! And at no charge as well. The gardens were very well maintained and the bonsai garden blew us away. The Chi Lin nunnery was so tranquil and the vegetarian restaurant behind the waterfall was totally unexpected - excellent food and service. We spent an entire afternoon there. Easy access by MTR to Diamond Hill.

Next to the Chi Lin Nunnery, it's a place of quietness next to the big city. A place to spend hours. Unfortunately it was raining when we went there. But still nice even in the rain.

beautiful and peaceful place just a few steps from a very busy shopping mall. It didn't however "blow our mind away", like our travel guide said, but still absolutely worth a visit! It is so tranquil compared to the busy city. The park supervisors are very strict, we weren't even allowed to eat a cookie on a bench.
