Nan Lian Garden is the absolute gold standard for budget-friendly sightseeing in Hong Kong. Getting here is simple and cheap—just a quick walk from the Diamond Hill MTR station—and the entrance fee is literally zero. For the price of a single train ticket, you are transported into a meticulously maintained Tang Dynasty-style landscape that feels worlds away from the city's hustle. The contrast between the ancient wooden architecture, the serene ponds, and the modern high-rises in the background is breathtaking and completely unique. You can easily spend two or three hours strolling the grounds, enjoying the silence, and meditating by the waterfall, all without opening your wallet once. If you’re backpacking through Asia or just trying to keep travel costs low, this garden is a non-negotiable must-visit. It proves that the most beautiful, enriching experiences don't have to cost a fortune.
