Chi Lin Nunnery is located within the Nan Lian Garden at Fengde Road.This place with Buddha's statues and carvings, can be easily reached through MTR, getting down at Diamond Hill MTR Station exiting at Gate C-2. From here it is at a short 10 minutes walking distance.

The nunnery is special because it makes one feel at peace. Tune in to the chanting and you can take the peaceful feeling out with you when you leave..very beautiful place.
