Kowloon Park
Directions:

MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station, Exit A1

Description:
After the hectic surrounds of Tsim Sha Tsui, the tranquillity of Kowloon Park
washes over you like a mountain spring. But this peaceful place was actually
once an army fortress that was handed over by the military for public use in
1970.
For some relaxation, head to the Chinese Garden, which comprises a two-tier
lotus pond linked by a rock cascade, and be sure to look out for the terrapins
basking in the sun.
Dont let a wet weather day put you off from visiting either: listening to the rain
falling on the foliage from the parks 200-meters sheltered walkway is pure bliss.
There are also kung fu and lion dance performances every Sunday. You can find
more information here.

Hong Kong Park

Directions:

MTR Admiralty Station, Exit C1. Follow the signs up the escalator to Hong Kong
Park.
Description:
An oasis of green in an urban setting, Hong Kong Park is outstanding in the way
its design blends in with the surrounding natural landscape. The park features an
aviary, a greenhouse, the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware, the Hong Kong
Visual Arts Centre, fountains, lily ponds, playgrounds, a restaurant and even a
marriage registry. The aviary features more than 80 species of birds in a well-
designed tropical rainforest.
Also noteworthy is the way flowing water has been employed as a thematic motif
to link the different features of the park by waterfalls, streams, ponds and cliffs
made from artificial rocks. The park is also a great vantage point to take some
snaps of the surrounding skyscrapers.
