About the organisation
Chan Chat Mansion, original building on site of Chi Lin Nunnery Chi Lin Nunnery was established in 1934 on the site of an old mansion. It was redeveloped in the 1990s to be a “seven-hall” timber monastic complex in the traditional style of the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907) based on the Great East Hall of Foguang Temple in Shanxi (one of the surviving Tang Dynasty architectural works in China) and the Tang timber architecture depicted in Dunhuang Cave murals. Construction techniques and craftsmanship adhered strictly to the Tang Dynasty. After the successful re-development of the nunnery, Chi Lin collaborated with the government and developed the land which is to the south of Chi Lin. The landscape garden was designed and modelled on Jiangshouju Garden in Shanxi Province (the surviving Tang Dynasty garden in China). Together, they form a comprehensive Tang style complex of timber monastic architecture and landscape garden. In 2012, they were inscribed on China’s tentative list of World Cultural Heritage sites.
