Get Thee To A Nunnery

Right in the heart of Kowloon is the famous Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden.  Here too many photos of it, because it is a calm, peaceful, beautiful place in the heart of the city.

No nails are used in the construction

 of this timber building.

Bonsai.

Inside the nunnery's temples.

These represent sea dragons. 

A sacred stone.

A good look at the beautiful courtyard.

Seems like you are in the middle of nowhere,

and then the skyscrapers loom.

A worker trimming the bonsai just so.  He

 would walk to a certain point, stare at the

tree, and then decisively trim a small part.

The iconic Chinese structure

in the park.

The ponds, fountains, and waterfalls

in Hong Kong are impressive.
