Episode 40 - Lotus in town

I took this photo yesterday at the Chi Lin Nunnery.

The Chi Lin Nunnery is situated near to the Diamond Hill MTR Station. Its Tang Dynasty style wood structure building (see photos taken by Gogo and me below) is unique in Hong Kong, and contrast quite dramtically with the concrete forest nearby.

The nunnery is quiet, clean and tidy. I did not see people burning incense (which is common in other temples in Hong Kong) during my visit. As a visitor, my impression was that that it has got quite an intellectual feel to it.

The nunnery also runs an elder's home and a school nearby.
