Updates: Our first trip to Hong Kong.

Our trip to Hong Kong was great, other than of coarse, you could guess it was too hot and too humid. We went to these beautiful gardens and then to the temple. We ended our day with pizza in the mall and a few American treats. These are the Nan Lian Gardens. There was a Nunnery connected to them as well. What a gorgeous place.

This is Kenya at customs on the Chinese side. We have to go through customs to leave China and then through Hong Kong customs to enter Hong Kong. Then vise versa on the way home.













A hot pink dragon fly!





There is a gift shop and restaurant behind that waterfall. Would have been cool to eat at if we had enough time.





They had an exhibit with rocks and raked pebbles. Really neat looking!


These next few picture are of a Nunnery right next to the Gardens. It was awesome. There was a monk chanting the entire time we were there. Not many other visitors were there and that is always nice. The shrines there was beautiful, but there were signs saying that we could not take pictures of them. We really enjoyed seeing something that looked Asian. We feel like we just live in a really big city here. There is not much ancient Chinese culture here in Shenzhen because it is such a new city.




Our first and definately not our last view of the Hong Kong Temple. What a wonderful place. The experience here has been so much more personal than at any other temple. Both times we have been there we saw and spoke directly to the temple president and his wife.
