The Chi Lin Nunnery in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong, founded in 1934, features Tang dynasty architecture rebuilt in 1998. Its construction is based on traditional Chinese architectural techniques that use special interlocking systems cut into the wood to hold them in place without nails, demonstrating the harmony of mankind with nature. The complex, with 16 halls, a library, a school, a pagoda, a bell tower, and a drum tower, covers an area of more than 33,000 square meters. The nearby Nan Lian Garden complements the nunnery’s style, spanning 35,000 square meters.
