Hong Kong, Day 5 - Nan Lian Garden #2.
Today's post is a continuation of Nan Lian Garden #1.
Workers busy at work maintaining the garden.
A Pavilion in the centre of the Lotus Pond.
Another Pavilion giving shelter to visitors from the hot sun.
Pavilion Bridge - functioning both as a pavilion and a bridge.
I walked towards the wall and looked over it. And I realized that I was standing over Fung Tak road.
Took this photo from where I was standing on the bridge.
Behind me was a female worker at work.
I walked up to the pond to take a closer look and quickly return to the shade. Here ended our garden tour and we were off to some sightseeing.
A skyscraper towering over us.

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
From the ends of the earth I call to You,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
(Psalm 61:1-3, New International Version-NIV)
