Located across the road from Nan Lian Garden this is a remarkable complex dating to 1934 when it was established as a place of retreat for Buddhist nuns. The current buildings date to 1998 after a rebuild based on traditional Tang Dynasty architecture. The nunnery is constructed from cypress timber and utilises an ancient Chinese interlocking system to hold the structure together without the use of nails or similar fastenings. Beautiful gardens and structures with many statues of the Buddha. It is a place of beauty and serenity, a tranquil oasis complimenting the Nan Lian Garden.

One of the most calming places in Hong Kong. It is in the middle of the city and yet one of the quietest places. The architecture is beautiful with dark woods. There are many halls with deities and yet it does not look cluttered. Nice place to visit for a breathe of fresh air.

Located on a hill and next to the beautiful gardens of Nan Lian, this convent enjoys unique peace and tranquility. It is a convent for nuns. You can only visit part of it, but it's worth it. The surroundings are fabulous with beautiful temples and wonderful views of the city below.

The Chi Lin Nunnery was a very surprising highlight to our trip. I thought it was be interesting to go, but it was absolutely stunning and probably somewhere I would go back to over and over. It was incredibly peaceful and tranquil. The buildings and grounds were immaculate and beautiful.
