Nan Lian Garden- the little heaven is a joint project of the Hong Kong Government and Chi Lin Nunnery and was opened in November of 2006. The entire garden area is 3.5 hectares and follows the Tang Dynasty mode with real looking artificial architectures and ornaments. The Hong Kong government sponsored most of the infrastructures inside this Chinese styled garden, but the Chi Lin Nunnery is on the charge of the garden.

The dust-free garden amid the city looks beautiful with the extensive plantings of foliage. Different types of rocks have been used in the garden and are fetched from different counties. Water bodies were made to bring a natural atmosphere. The artificial timber structures are also marvelous to look at.
