Besides the tall skyscrapers and Disneyland, Hong Kong has some remarkable ancient Buddhist temples and gardens. This is the temple of the Buddha Skanda at Diamond Hill.
The Chinese Garden adjacent to the Nunnery has a working water wheel.
Besides trees, flowers and bushes, Chinese gardens have curiously shaped rocks too.
A golden pagoda in the Chinese garden.
The trees and bushes are pruned to give them specific shapes like these. Like the ancient Indian gardens, the Chinese gardens also consist of specific trees, bushes, lotus ponds, alcoves and winding paths. They relax the mind and induce a sense of harmony.
This is my contribution to My World which is hosted by Sylvia, Klaus, Sandy, Wren and the Fishing Guy.
