Nan Lian Garden, Chinese garden in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong.
This 3.5-hectare classical garden contains carefully arranged water features, timber structures, ornamental rocks and traditional vegetation across multiple levels.
The garden, inaugurated in 2006, represents a partnership between Chi Lin Nunnery and the Hong Kong government to bring Tang Dynasty design principles to modern times.
The garden layout incorporates fundamental principles of Chinese landscaping, including the strategic placement of rocks, water elements, and architectural structures.
Visitors can access the garden through Diamond Hill MTR Station Exit C2, with opening hours from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day without entrance fees.
The Pavilion of Absolute Perfection stands over a lake, creating precise reflections in the water that merge with the surrounding high-rise buildings.

Hong Kong combines eastern and western cultures. The city displays modern skyscrapers, temples, restaurants, and street markets. The contrast between tradition and modernity shapes its urban landscape.
Hong Kong hides many lesser-known sites beyond its skyscrapers and shopping centers. The city is home to 19th-century Buddhist temples such as Kwun Yum Temple in Hung Hom, traditional Chinese gardens like Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill covering 35,000 square meters, and historic mansions like King Yin Lei from 1937 with its red brick roofs and glazed tiles. The abandoned Hakka villages of Kuk Po near the Chinese border and heritage trails like Lung Yeuk Tau in Fanling reflect the region's rural history. The islands and natural areas reveal another aspect of the territory. Tap Mun Island hosts a small fishing community and a Buddhist monastery in the eastern waters. Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Sai Kung protects over 60 coral species and 120 fish species. Sha Lo Tung Valley in Tai Po is home to more than 500 butterfly species among abandoned rice paddies. These sites offer an alternative to urban life and allow visitors to discover Hong Kong's natural and cultural heritage.
