Great place to relaxe and take a fresh breath of air, piece and quiet.
Lots of plants - museums and things to see.
Definitely a bucket list target for tourists and locals alike.

Happy To see a very nice garden in HK. It is a little new, so there is not much a historical feel inside. However, it does not matter as it's still very relaxing to walk inside.

Came here for the first time and really enjoyed the gardens.
The garden was quite large with well manicured gardens, wooden buildings, unusual rock formations, and a large lake. This was a great open space and not fully surrounded by high rise apartments so it felt calm and inviting.
It was a short walk from the Diamond Hill MRT station. Exit C2.
We visited two buildings that were exhibiting ceramics (paid admission) and building techniques (no nails). The second one was definitely worth visiting to see the models. A souvenir shop, restaurant and tea house also on site for shopping and eating.
Luckily we finished and headed over to the Nunnery as a large bus load of tourists entered.

Nothing much here. The place has good views. Very relaxing park. Good place to visit in Hong Kong if you have extra time. Would recommend.

A *must visit*, to get the other side of Hong Kong that is hard to find: Calm. Green. Contemplative. The gardens are an instant transformation to calm. They are beautifully maintained. You'll love the little touches of amazing design all around. For $20 you can also visit the pottery museam, it is totally worth it with art by masters. Bring your nice camera along, there are so many amazing shots to take. Be sure to linger with the koi on the pond, and eat at the restaurant (double the fun with a seat under the waterfall).

This garden is so beautifully maintained. I wish my garden was that well-manicured. It was a pleasant detour from all the bustle of the city. I forgot I was in the city! Hubby and I were here together, and we agreed it's a wonderful place to be for a date. Go for coffee or dessert afterwards. We went mid-morning, and went for a late lunch.

A beautiful, clean and well maintained garden with well groomed plants. About 10 minutes walk from the MTR Diamond Hill station.

This is a beautiful Chinese garden that is well maintained. One complaint however was that when I visited, all the paths leading to bridges and higher observation points have been blocked off for maintenace. Hopefully this is not permanent.

A very beautiful park. Located next to Chilin Monastery. The park was opened in 2006 as part of the Chilin monastery complex, then its main concept was full compliance with the rules of Feng Shui and stylistic execution. single Like a monastery, the park was built in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no entrance fee for the nunnery or garden, the nunnery is open daily 9am to 4.30pm and the garden I think is open from around 7 am to 9 pm you could spend 1-2 hours in the nunnery as it is something like a small forbidden city and the same in the garden as it is large around around 35000 square meters featuring magnificent garden including water features and buildings There is also a tea house / restaurant selling vegetarian food all in all well worth the effort to see.

How far is it from cruise terminal

Hi, we used the MTR system from Hong Kong island. The Garden is near the Diamond Hill station. This was pretty easy and quickly. I have not been to cruise terminal but there are busses (No. 86) you can start with but have to change (and walk to another) bus line which may take up to 50 minutes or more. It is probably more advisable to take a taxi which is not so expensive in HK and will take you there in about 10-15 min.

Entrance is free for adults and children. Opening times are 7.00am - 9.00pm. You will have a great time; it is a special place. If eating book your table on arrival don't wait until you want to eat as it gets full.
Have a nice trip.
