Nan Lian Garden, a Tang-style landscaped Chinese garden in Diamond Hill Hong Kong, is said to be based on the blueprint of the famous Jiangshouju Garden in Shanxi Province. It was opened on 15th November 2006.
The garden is characterized by the four main elements of Tang-style gardens with:
1. artificial hillocks and ornamental rocks,
2. water features,
3. timber structures, and
4. old trees.
What will strike everyone who visits here are the unusual trees that blanket the entire garden. Precious old trees throughout the garden include Buddhist Pine, Japanese Black Pine, Cypress, Pagoda, Silver-back Artocarpus and Common Crape Myrte.
For the people who want to escape the busy metropolis that Hong Kong is, Nan Lian Garden is their ticket. Although the garden is at the heart of urban Kowloon, it provides visitors with a tranquil and serene atmosphere.
