Entrance area of Nan Lian Garden
Chinese people have a thing for building gates
Little trees are also popular here
This garden trip was where I first learned to use bokeh with my Canon point-and-shoot
Nan Lian Garden is a gently meandering series of walkways that have small ponds, trees and pagodas scattered aesthetically about. All around the garden are the towering skyscrapers and the immovable mountains. On our visit, it was populated mainly with older folks who were strolling about, or sitting by the larger pond, watching the giant Koi swim peacefully about. Throughout the park, small birds sing and call to each other, helping to remove the drone of the city traffic.

The views are like something from a post card, but more urban, due to the skyscrapers
Some of these buildings house information guides about the ancient wood construction techniques
Eventually, the sun began to set in the garden. Due to how it is deeply entrenched against the highways and skyscrapers, we were quickly being left in a small garden pit of darkness. Climbing up to higher ground, we noticed that there was a walkway across a highway that was actually a crossing to the Chi Lin Nunnery that we had visited on the first city tour that we were taken on. With a few more pictures, we concluded our adventures and went in search of dinner!

This is one of my favourite HK pictures: The contrast of these ancient temples and the tower mountains and skyscrapers is a peculiar urban beauty to me
