As an architecture student on a tight budget, I was amazed by Nan Lian Garden. This isn't just a park; it's a living museum of classical Chinese construction. The attention to detail in the wooden structures, built without a single nail and following Tang Dynasty traditions, is incredible. You can walk right up to these masterpieces and study the interlocking joinery for hours, all without paying a dime. Most places charging for this level of craftsmanship. It’s a free masterclass in ancient engineering and aesthetic balance. If you appreciate historical design and want to see genuine artistry that doesn't rely on expensive tickets, make sure your Hong Kong itinerary includes a dedicated block of time for this garden.
