Visited one of the newest attraction of Hong Kong - Nan Lian Garden ( 南蓮園池 ) - with my parents, my sister and my BIL the night before leaving Hong Kong.
It opened right after I visited Chi Lin Nunnery in fall of 2006. Owned by the HK Government, it is built in the same Tang Dynasty style as the nunnery across a roadway, and is managed by Chi Lin. It also has a tea house and a vegetarian restaurant where we had dinner.
Shot with the 10-22 and 17-55/2.8IS. Hand-held, including the night shots.
Chi Lin Nunnery photos from Nov 2006 are in the middle part of this album:
