Three beautiful Chinese Gardens in Kowloon

Kowloon's three beautiful Chinese gardens

Apart from markets and shopping malls, Kowloon Peninsula's has three beautiful Chinese gardens, which have different scenery, historical background and landscaping style.

(1)Nan Lian Garden

In the past, the area was the largest slum area in Hong Kong. 

In 2000, Hong Kong Government resettled the people and built a traditional Tang Dynasty-style Nan Lian Garden.

Through the traditional Chinese landscaping and gardening methods, the developer integrates the rocks, trees and water harmoniously to create an urban oasis, which is surrounded by the high-rise buildings.  

The Chi Lin Nunnery is next to the man-made heaven.  

You can say hello to the Buddha and see the traditional but new Chinese wooden architecture there.

(2)Kowloon Walled City Park

The Kowloon Walled City Park is pretty and even got the international award in 1993.  

But you can go there to trace its special historical background.  

At first, the site was a Chinese Army walled stronghold against the British imperialists and Kowloon's city center, with a big bazaar.  

The complicated reasons made it the abandoned historical orphan, which was not under Britain's, China's or Hong Kong's rule.  

Japan demolished its thick wall during WWII to use the bricks to lengthen the Kai Tak Airport runway.

Its haphazard development became uncontrollable after the war.  

It became infamous: slum with the highest population density and the hodgepodge of refugees, gangsters, crimes etc.

Today the old Chinese Army Headquarter building (Yamen) is still kept as the management office of the beautiful Jiangnan (South of Yangtze River) style garden.

(3)Ling Nan Garden

Ling Nan Garden is the South China style garden, which is different from the above-mentioned two gardens.  

As South China is hot and wet, the garden has the long and wide covered corridor as the shade.  

South China was the first place to keep contact with the Westerners.  

So garden's decoration has lots of Western elements.  

Water makes up 20% of the garden.  

This shows the site's history.  

It was the coast for the citizens to have the romantic paddle boat ride and Exxon Mobil's oil depot.  

The Mei Foo (Exxon Mobil's Chinese name) Sun Chuen is next to the Ling Nan Garden.  

With 99 blocks, it was once the biggest private housing development in the world.  

The Ling Nan Garden is the "private" backyard garden of Mei Foo's residents and makes Mei Foo, which is now 50-year-old, still the expensive 'blue chip' private housing estate in Hong Kong.

You may consider the Kowloon cultural private tour, which  can bring you to the above-mentioned Chinese gardens.
