We weren’t exactly following Hamlet’s exhortation to Ophelia, when we took our visitor Victoria Vuletich to the Nan Lian Garden/Chi Lin Nunnery in Hong Kong’s Diamond Hill area in mid April. But we all discovered how beautiful and restful this Tang dynasty style Chinese garden and monastery complex is. It’s in fact a lovely green oasis in the midst of tall apartment buildings. That’s what we always seem to be seeking. Buddhist chants lent a very serene and mesmerizing air in the inner court of the complex. Unique timber construction techniques (not a nail in sight), lotus and fish ponds, rocks and lots of lovely old trees complete the magic.
