A lot of the locals will set up a fishing rod and go fishing here. I like to run along along the promenade and really enjoy the fresh air and smell of the sea.

Quite a spectacular view, and unique to Hong Kong. People do Tai Chi, group dances, fishing and jogging around the park. Walking along the harbor trail leads you to close to North Point. There is a pets' park towards the end. On the weekends, you can see pet owners with all their cute doggies chilling. Right next to the Harbor Park is Soho East, there is a large variety of restaurants there. A great place to explore dinner options!

I thought it was the perfect gem for Hong Kong, especially the location of being a park right on the harbour. The concrete track that circles the park is about a 5km circle and I've had many runs on that. Special perk: free yoga classes on Saturday mornings in the park there. Challenging to find grass areas in Hong Kong , so it's always an added bonus to enjoy those small things

There is a nice sidewalk along the waterfront that is popular with joggers and romantic couples alike. One weekends the greenspace is typically filled with families out enjoying the weather. For dog owners, the park also houses a pet garden (dog park) located very close to the Macau Ferry Terminal building adjacent to the Central Police Station. Offering a fairly large section of grass surrounded by bushes, the garden has two water spigots and semi-covered seating for owners. Bring your own water bowl to fill up however, as your pooch will get thirsty. This is a favorite destination of our pug.

There's a lot of vendors selling knick-knacks and stuff on the promenade. There's a pier. There's boating. It's nice to take a walk here. My mom said she went hiking around here a while ago.

They haven't reconstruct the entire place, but they did something with a part of it. This place is visited by a lot of people, and most enjoy having a picnic, or taking professional photos, or even just relaxing by the ocean or on the grass. There are also runners who go here because of how big this place is. It's a nice change of scenery, especially when you finally see a field of grass in Hong Kong on the Kowloon side. Besides the park, there is the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. It's a massive building with shops and restaurants inside. It's not hard to miss this enormous structure. When you do go outside of the building on the upper floors, it's like a giant garden. A long, long, giant garden that you can stroll through or sit and take in the atmosphere. Even the inside of the restrooms are spacious and nice.

The park is clean and mostly frequented by the elderly. I saw very few younger people. It would have been nice if they allowed unique snack vendors.

This was my favourite childhood hideout place. I remember all those times my primary schoolmates…read moreand I acted like superheroes running around playing hide and seek; paddling swan boats. Since my primary school is right next to it, we would spend hours after school just to have a bit of fun at the park before heading home. Last week I went back there again and I was flabbergasted how it has changed. The lake we used to row boats on are completely drained out and the two of the entrances of badminton court have been blocked by potted plants (there goes my short-cut), luckily one thing that did not change is the mass of greenery. Another thing that surprised me was the crowd here, back then there were only some elderly chilling and doing Tai chi in the morning, now there are more street performers singing classical Chinese songs. This place has become more lively and vivid. (Yet I did read that there have been some kinds of prostitution targeting the elderly there going on lately) With the completion of the West rail and also the newly established V-City and the new residential area, I would not be shocked to see the growing number of people here. Sadly, the crowds also come with more rubbish and I was really disappointed to see the litters on the floor unfortunately. Regardless of the fact that most of the stuff I was familiar with about this place is gone, whenever I pass it by I can vividly recall where my hiding spot was during hide-and-seek; and I am glad that spot still exists, (which is a secret spot of course!)

There are a few ritzy residential buildings that surround this playground, so I'm thinking the residents' hard earned cash partially goes towards maintaining this space. There's a huge space of grass just waiting to be run around in. Lots of benches to sit down. There's one gazebo, but don't be surprised if a group has already taken it over. There are also clean toilets, and right outside, a nice fountain that's perfect for a photoshoot.

If you want to get away from all the shutterbugs or would like to venture beyond The Peak Galleria, Mount Austin Playground is the right place for a quiet moment. The park is merely a third of a mile further. It features a nice little fountain. The greenery is well maintained. There are restrooms and play structures. You won't get a panoramic view of the famous Victoria Harbour like you would on the other side. However, I think it works great as a relaxing picnic spot.

As far as I know, taking the 82 minibus from Tsuen Wan is the easiest way of getting here. Because of the distance traveled and the limited seating, it's best to stand in line early, since the wait at the bus stop can be pretty long. Near the trailhead, there's a shop for snacks and drinks as well as public restrooms. There are a number of ways to go about your adventure. Since we were trying to get back before dark and avoid the next rainstorm, we covered Pineapple Dam and Waterside Paperbarks, extended a little past Shing Mun Reservoir Delta before turning around to check out Shing Mun Reservoir Main Dam. While there were a few stairs and some incline, the trail was mostly flat as well as well-kept and easy to traverse. Breaking away from the main loop, there were portions with gnarly trees, rocky boulders you can climb, and flatlands for day-camping. Another perk is that the wildlife around here roam freely. A herd of cattle were grazing near the reservoir's edge unbothered by passersby. A local troop of monkeys made their appearance, with a few more brazen than others. Word of advice: If you've got your phone in hand or any other small object, they might mistake it for food and lunge towards you, so maintain some distance. If you happen to have driven and parked in an area with monkeys, well...they might just make it their bed and scratch it up, perhaps even leave a dollop or two...We also chanced upon a kaleidoscope of butterflies along the way, many of which were uniquely patterned. Finally, there was a shared rest area completely occupied by a pack of dogs before they went on their way. Fun, fairly straightforward, and not too physically demanding trail for most folks. For humidity and possible chance of rain, bring an umbrella, a water bottle, and change of clothes. Next time I'll try completing the entire loop.
