Chi Lin Temple @ Hong Kong



During my trip at Hong Kong, I was totally attracted by one of the local temple called "Chi Lin Nunnery" (志蓮淨苑) in Diamond Hill. The environment & the scenic view of the temple captured my attention. This temple was founded in the 1930s and it was rebuilt in 2000. It utilizes traditional Tang Dynasty architectural technique to frame its structure without using a single nail, It's amazing...

There's lots of beautiful, peaceful place with lotus ponds (donated by one of my favourite idol - Anita Mui) and bonsai trees. When you stepped in to the temple, you can almost believe that you have been transported back in time to the First Century! Come let's enjoy the photos :)

When I feel homesick I owes like to visit temples, it gives me a feeling of peace. Hopefully I get to visit this Nunnery one day...
