Nan Lian Garden
 We left the actual Nunnery, walked over a connecting bridge passing a
roof garden of bonsai trees
to..........
 Cutting through Diamond Hill’s myriad of high-rise
apartments is the tranquil Nan Lian Garden, a public
park also built in the style of the Tang dynasty. Its scenic garden is
meticulously landscaped over an area of 3.5 hectares, in which every hill, rock,
body of water, plant and timber structure has been placed according to specific
rules and methods. There are permanent exhibitions of Chinese timber
architecture, rocks and potted plants but we stuck to enjoying the garden and
the gorgeous bonsai trees.
                          After our visit to the Nunnery and Garden we hopped on a bus and next
to our digs found an eatery that had a good menu (that we could understand). Asking if the curry and
satay were fiery and being reassured they were not, we ordered. Bear’s beef curry came with rice and salad, together with a can of
Fanta was five pounds and five pence, oooo twice the
price of Malaysia but very tasty. My beef
satay came with noodles but I asked for rice and pineapple juice,
literally chunks of pineapple in water with loads of ice (mine was a bargain at
three pounds, ninety four). I mixed the chunks in my food and it was marvellous.
We’ll be back.
