Nan Lian Garden & Chi Lin Nunnery

#hkonbudget Nan Lian Garden and Chi Lin Nunnery are a peaceful oasis right in the middle of Kowloon. Modeled after Tang-dynasty design, this landscaped garden is completely free to enter. Every corner feels meticulously arranged, with koi ponds, bonsai trees, and wooden bridges offering tranquil photo spots. Just across the bridge sits Chi Lin Nunnery, an active Buddhist temple complex with intricate wooden halls and serene courtyards. Visiting both gives you a sense of stepping back into history, far away from the skyscrapers. For travelers watching their budget, this is a cultural and spiritual treasure at zero cost. #hkonbudget
