Waterfall, Turtles, Aviary, A Museum & A Lookout Tower
This is a particularly good place to go if you need some time out from the busy city centre or if you have kids who need to stretch their legs. It is a large, landscaped park and something of an oasis in the heart of Hong Kong. Entry is free. The highlights are a central, man-made lake with large orange fish and tiny turtles, and a giant, enclosed aviary with an elevated walkway. The aviary os pretty special. The landscaped gardens are green and lush and at one point, the winding path leads you behind the cascading water of an artificial waterfall which is good fun for kids. A 30-metre tall look-out tower has a nice view down over the park and out across the city. It is hidden away from the main lake area and in the past, I hadn’t even realised it was there. If you don’t mind the 100+ stairs, the view from the top is pretty good. If you have spare time, the Flagstaff House Tea museum is an interesting diversion in the park. Whilst it’s probably not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s housed inside a well preserved and grand colonial house and museum entry is also free (see separate review). The park is big so to get your bearings, keep an eye out for the signposted maps of the grounds. It is worth taking a photo of the one by the entry gates so you can find your way around. GETTING THERE: There are several entries. I find the easiest is from inside the Pacific Place shopping centre. Escalators beside Harvey Nicholls, run up to the park and bring you right to one of the main entries.

Must visit place in Hong Kong
Amazing park. I enjoy it with the rain and with the sun , on summer when the weather is hot or on winter when weather is cool. This park can really visit every day, it is like escape from crowded noisy streets. If you have more time I recommend to take first trip to Peak and then find small walking trail from peak to down. All the road is amazing and finally you find yourself in that great park.
