The Unbeatable Dual Attraction
#doublethefun #chilinnunnery #zeroadmission
The best part about Nan Lian Garden for the budget traveler is that it's physically connected to another equally stunning, and equally free, attraction: the Chi Lin Nunnery. You can literally walk across a beautiful wooden bridge and transition instantly from the meticulously planned garden to the sprawling Buddhist temple complex, which is one of the largest timber structures in the world. This combined, zero-admission itinerary gives you a massive cultural and aesthetic payoff for half a day of exploration. It saves you money on two separate entrance fees and two separate transport costs. It’s an efficient, enriching, and profoundly peaceful experience. If you’re structuring a day around zero-cost activities, putting these two together is simply unbeatable.
