Chi Lin Nunnery
Established in 1934 and renovated in Tang dynasty style (AD 618–907) in 1990,
the Chi Lin Nunnery is a large temple complex of elegant wooden architecture,
treasured Buddhist relics and soul-soothing lotus ponds. The complex also
includes a series of temple halls, some of which contain gold, clay and wooden
statues representing divinities such as the Sakyamuni Buddha and bodhisattvas.
Nan Lian Garden
Cutting through Diamond Hill’s myriad of high-rise apartments is the tranquil
Nan Lian Garden, a public park also built in the style of the Tang dynasty. Its
scenic garden is meticulously landscaped over an area of 3.5 hectares, in which
every hill, rock, body of water, plant and timber structure has been placed
according to specific rules and methods. There are permenant exhibitions of
Chinese timber architecture, rocks and potted plants, while the hungry might
want to try the vegetarian restaurant or teahouse.
