This Buddhist nunnery is stunning with its monastery complex having been renovated as a piece of Tang Dynasty architecture. The grand and elegant complex will surely become one of China's great cultural attractions in the years to come. There are other halls containing a treasure trove of religious relics as well as restful lotus ponds.
Located amid the high-rise apartment blocks is the tranquil Nan Lian Garden, a newly opened public park built in the ancient style of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618- 907). The scenic garden is meticulously landscaped over an area of 3.5 hectares, in which every hill, rock, body of water, plant and timber structure is placed according to specific rules and methods. |
