Description
Tung Lin Kok Yuen is a Buddhist Nunnery built in the Happy Valley. The building was built to provide education to females and to cultivate smart and brilliant Buddhist learners. It was located on a hill and it has an appearance of a huge 'submarine'. Although it is created with a more western architectural structure, its renovations are still built in a traditional Chinese style. It now serves as the venue of different cultural activities comprising the Buddhism classes, voluntary work and meditation workshops.
