Whether it is worth paying a visit Chi Lin Nunnery depends on how many Chinese temples you have previously visited. There are a lot of buildings which are only open for 'donors'. In other words, visitors like us could not get in. If you want to experience Chinese Buddhism and/or Dao, I would opt for Wong Tai Sin Temple where...

Although it's a recent construction and I'm not and expert in Chinese temple, I was quite impressed with this one. The garden and the temple worth spending few hours. Unfortunately it was raining the day we visited, but it was a very relaxing place.

What an amazing experience for any gardeners or just wanting peace for the soul. Allow at least 2-3 hours to enjoy. Note- no eating in the grounds but there are 2 eating places to enjoy vegetarian food and tea. Go to the gift shop for things different.

The nunnery is special because it makes one feel at peace. Tune in to the chanting and you can take the peaceful feeling out with you when you leave..very beautiful place.

The nunnery sits in an ancient Buddhist temple. It oozes peace and calm. The garden is fantastic with water features and lotus flowers. It is a great place to sit and contemplate away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong.

A million miles away from the frenetic pace of Hong Kong Island but so easy to get to. Take the MTR to Diamond Hill and it is so well signposted that you cannot miss it. The building itself contains a nunnery but you cannot visit their quarters. What you do experience is the architecture of a religious building built into...
