Occupying an area of 3.5 hectares, "Nan Lian Garden" is built in the Tang Dynasty style. Besides adorned with characteristic timber structures, the garden is studded with clusters of bizarre rocks and planted with lots of old and valuable trees.
The Nan Lian Garden, built in the style of the Tang Dynasty, just like the convent located just across the street is really pretty. Access is free from 7am to 9pm daily. Easily accessible via public transport, plan about 45 min to 1 hour of sightseeing especially if you take the time to take photos and sit in the dedicated areas.
Connected to the nunnery by a footbridge is the Nan Lian Garden, a meticulously landscaped park that also follows the Tang dynasty design principles. The garden’s circular path leads visitors around a picturesque lake, guiding them past notable features such as the Pavilion Bridge, the Pine Teahouse and the iconic Pavilion of Absolute Perfection.
