Besides the tall skyscrapers and Disneyland, Hong Kong has some remarkable ancient Buddhist temples and gardens. This is the temple of the Buddha Skanda at Diamond Hill.
The Chinese Garden adjacent to the Nunnery has a working water wheel.
Besides trees, flowers and bushes, Chinese gardens have curiously shaped rocks too.

The trees and bushes are pruned to give them specific shapes like these. Like the ancient Indian gardens, the Chinese gardens also consist of specific trees, bushes, lotus ponds, alcoves and winding paths. They relax the mind and induce a sense of harmony.

That is exactly the kind of lovely place that I enjoy visiting! Marvelous captures as always! Hope you have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteThanks for showing this part of Hong Kong. Now I know that's a beautiful Chinese garden there for visit.
ReplyDeleteChinese garden looks familiar to me. Maybe it has many things in common with Japanese garden. I love this interesting topic and photos.
