Lovely garden. Based on a tang dynasty garden and principles, although actually not having real age to it itself, nan lian garden is in the middle of the city and is easily accessible from both the nearby diamond hill MTR and bus terminus. The garden is divided into many different areas all of which reflect a sort of journey through the garden. There is the rock garden where huge boulders can be used for contemplation. There is a bonsai garden. The path winds its way through miniature hills and forests and past a lake brimming with koi. There are many places to stop and admire the vistas. You can also drink in the lakeside tea house or eat in the restaurant partly set under a waterfall. Have a snack in the tea room. Alternatively you can visit the display hall that often showcases preeminent examples of different crafts. When finished there is a small shop in which appropriate traditional crafts and other things are sold. There are toilets around the garden and entrance is free.
