Chung Yan Tung Sun Care Home in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong

In the bustling and towering metropolis of Hong Kong, there is a Buddhist pure land full of ancient charm - the Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. This group of Tang-style buildings is located at the southern foot of Diamond Hill in Kowloon, and its creator is a Buddhist nun who is obsessed with Tang Dynasty art. She begged for alms from all directions and built it over the years. In 2012, it was included in the tentative list of World Heritage Sites announced by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, making it a unique flower in the Chinese architectural world. Nan Lian Garden features a pond and a hill named after the Arhat, with pine trees as the main element and various peculiar rocks as the backdrop, creating the natural charm of mountains and forests pursued by Tang Dynasty. Tang Dynasty gardens emphasized the natural charm of mountains and forests, so the architectural style was relatively secondary, and the more important aspect was the landscape sequence composed of mountains, waters, flowers, trees, and pavilions.
