From the charming shops of Ngong Ping Village, a short walk leads you to Ngong Ping Piazza—a cultural and spiritual square designed to honor Buddhist tradition while offering travelers a scenic stopover before reaching the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery.
Ngong Ping Village was the first attraction we visited during our Hong Kong trip — straight from the airport! Since we arrived early, I figured it was the perfect way to maximize our time. I’m always the one who prepares our itinerary, and I make sure that every minute counts — because let’s be honest, traveling isn’t free!
As you walk the sacred path toward the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) in Ngong Ping, Hong Kong, you’ll be greeted by twelve striking stone statues lined up in formation — these are the Twelve Divine Generals, also known as the Twelve Heavenly Generals.
From all the tourist spots I’ve visited in Hong Kong, Nan
Lian Garden is the one I love the most.
It’s peaceful, serene, quiet, and utterly relaxing — like a magical forest
tucked away in the middle of towering skyscrapers. Every time someone asks me
about Hong Kong, I can’t help but show off the photos I took here while
excitedly talking about how I long to go back.
Looking for a budget hotel near Yau Ma Tei MTR Station, Jade Market, and Temple Street Night Market? We booked Silka Seaview Hotel mainly because of its affordable rate and prime location in Kowloon. Here's an honest review based on our experience — the good, the not-so-great, and everything in between.
One of my favorite places in Hong Kong is the Nan Lian Garden and the Chi Lin Nunnery. It’s incredibly peaceful, serene, and calming — a true escape from the city’s hustle. If I had a free day in Hong Kong, I’d easily spend it here just taking in the beauty and tranquility.
