Chi Lin Nunnery

Chi Lin Nunnery (Chinese: 志蓮淨苑; Jyutping: zi3 lin4 zing6 jyun2; Cantonese Yale: Jilìhn Jihng Yún) is a large Buddhist temple complex located in Diamond Hill, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The Chi Lin Nunnery uses the traditional Tang dynasty architecture with a design based on a Sukhavati drawing in the Mogao Caves.

This construction is based on traditional Chinese architectural techniques that uses special interlocking systems cut into the wood to hold them in place.

As a result of the new lighting design project, small spotlights have been installed on the ground floor and on the roof, while the lower entrance stairs have been illuminated by LEDs strips placed in the handrail.

The scenic garden covers an area of 35,000 square metres (380,000 sq ft) is maintained by the Chi Lin Nunnery.
