SIGHTS TO SEE

If a single image could encapsulate Hong Kong, it would be the panorama from Victoria Peak. Looking down at the city from this famous vantage point, you'll see one of the finest harbors on Earth and a skyline so improbable, audacious and lofty that Manhattan's looks provincial by comparison. 
Go in the late afternoon to experience both daylight and nighttime view of our beautiful city.
The famous tram can take you up from its terminus on Garden Road (nearest MTR: Central). This one is often very crowded, be prepared to wait up to a few hours in peak hour. We would recommend to skip the tram, take a taxi, bus or even trek up to the peak. If you really want to try out the old tram, take it on your way down to save some time.

CHI LIN NUNNARY

One of the most beautiful and arrestingly built environments in Hong Kong, this large Buddhist complex, originally dating from the 1930s, was rebuilt completely of wood (and not a single nail) in the style of the Tang dynasty in 1998. It is a serene place, with lotus ponds, immaculate bonsai tea plants and bougainvillea, and silent nuns delivering offerings of fruit and rice to Buddha and arhats (Buddhist disciples freed from the cycle of birth and death) or chanting behind intricately carved screens.

To reach the nunnery, take exit C2 of Diamond Hill MTR station, walk through the Hollywood Plaza shopping centre and turn east on to Fung Tak Rd. The nunnery is a five-minute walk away.
