Absolutely beautiful and peaceful in a busy/crazy city. We almost skipped it as we had limited time on our last day but I'm glad we decided to go. It was raining so we could not do a tour of the garden. Somewhere everyone should see.

We visited here after the gardens and another place of spiritual quietness,it is here where we had our lunch and so once to out of the rush of Hong Kong for a couple of hours.

This was great! It's an oasis of tranquility in an amazingly crowded city. We had a great time and were able to converse with some of the staff about the history of this amazing place. I would recommend seeing it if you have the chance.

If you have a few days in Hong Kong, it's worth the visit. 5min walk from the MTR Diamond Hill station (the shopping mall "Hollywood plaza" which is quite good is located at the MTR station), easy to find (well indicated) Nice temple and chinese garden, a bit "kitsch"

The Nunnery is truly serene and quite beautiful. The gardens are stunning, even though I'm not into them ordinarily. Juxtaposed against HK... More

In contrast to the busy downtown of HKG, this place is absolutely quiet!. Nice scenery, the directors often use this place for dramas.

Tried their banquet dinner for 12 people. Amazing beetroot salad for appetizer. Lots of deep fried mushrooms, and morel mushroom and cashew soup. Different vegetarian food from the typical Chinese 'fake' vegetarian food that is greasy and oily.
