Quiet Paradise in the heart of Hong Kong

The Nan Lian garden is like a paradise in the heart of Hong Kong. It offers a chance to escape the busy city life and just feel completely relaxed. Accessing the garden is very easy using Hong Kong MTR network. It is situated just across the street from Diamond Hill MTR station (Kwun Tong line and Tuen Ma line) exit C1 in Hong Kong. After entering the park, the city noises kind of fade to the background and soon you won’t even remember you are inside the very busy city. The garden has an area of approximately 3.5 hectares. It is designed in the Tang Dynasty-style with hills, water features, trees, rocks and wooden structures. Almost every detail is maintained so well that the whole place is just so breathtaking. It was opened to public in 2006. Among the old buildings, there is also a tiny temple in the park. I recommend visitors to visit the temple to familiarize themselves with the Buddhist traditions but remember to behave in a calm manner, avoid loud voices and also consider other people. Some people are there to pray so respecting others is a must. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk through the park and the temple. During that time you can forget all the busyness and just find your own inner peace. The park entry is free of charge, although some of the museums inside do have an entry fee. There are also some places from where to buy food inside the park area. #hongkong #nanliangarden #nanlian #park #garden #urbanexplorers #diamondhill
