Chi Li Nunnery, Hong Kong

This was one of my favourite places in Hong Kong - but I commit to only recommending one sight - and that has to be the pink dolphins. 

The nunnery is a recreation of an ancient building rather than the original, but it has a wonderful calm vibe.  It was almost empty when we visited on a wet Saturday morning, and the serenity and gentleness of it moved me to tears.

There’s also a very nice gift shop downstairs where you pick up beautiful (but fairly expensive) chopsticks etc.

Don’t get me wrong, some of these are excellent, but I couldn’t, in good conscience give them a Pearl Recommendation.  Sometimes they were just beaten to the punch, or I couldn’t decide a clear winner, other times they had a lot right, but I felt they just weren’t there.  I don’t really want to give bad reviews, but anything I felt was really best avoided you’ll find in the Jellyfish section.
