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.

As part of the Energizing Kowloon East development projects, this promenade proudly displays some of the roots of Kowloon East, an industrial center back in the 70's and 80's. You'll find interesting structures made of rustic metals, and they also have different themed areas for children and elderly to enjoy. I highly recommend visiting this park at least once during the day time and once during the evening time. Two different vibes, both very relaxing and enjoyable in their own unique way.

Tin Shui Wai Park may be far, but with close to 15 hectares of green space, it is worth the travel…read moretime and effort. Surrounded by residential areas, Tin Shui Wai Park feels very serene. There are a few people, or maybe because I decided to visit on a weekday. Being far from the city center and where the ratio of children to elderly is 1:10, the park is definitely for those who prefer a slower pace of life. The facilities are also highly maintained, the bathrooms clean unlike the ones in densely-urban areas such as Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po. Because the park caters highly to the elderly, they have a special area called the "Elderly Fitness Corner" where there are a lot of old people stretching to improve or rather maintain their flexibility. The fitness stations scattered across the park are a great place to do some yoga or plyometrics. There aren't a lot of people using it so you can have it all to yourself for as long as you like. Another thing I like about this park are the hard-surface tennis courts and soccer pitches. Again, since it's so far from the city, not a lot of people use these facilities except for the nearby residents (which are mostly elderly). There is also a model boat lake where one can bring their radio-controlled boats to play along with. For those who have model cars, the park has got you covered as there's also an area for radio-controlled cars. Play gateball? There's an all-access practice and match court for the taking. Finally, for skateboarders, there is a simple concrete area with rails and a street plaza, perfect for trying out aerial tricks. If you do get tired of being in the park and prefer the comfort of air-conditioning, Kingswood Ginza is nearby.

With the excruciating heat during summer in Hong Kong, it would be crazy to ask your friends 'hey! Let's go hiking this weekend!" Though I have to agree, do you know that Hong Kong in fact has one of the best hiking trails in the world and we are just not really appreciating it correctly. Lots of my foreign friends always wondered why is that locals here simply do not go hiking... Well... that's quite embarrassing as we might be taking the nature for granted. Regardless, I finally took up the courage and embraced with our great natural side of Hong Kong. As a matter of fact, Tai Lam Country Park is the second largest country park in the territory. I did not finish the entire trail (sorry I am just a spoiled city boy) but frankly speaking the scenery was just AMAZING. It is fairly difficult to find an idle and tranquil place in Hong Kong, so hiking to places like this is definitely perfect choice for all. Personally, I loved the Red leaves in Dai Tong during winter when it is less hot and the scene would make you feel like you are in one of those romantic Japanese TV shows where the guy and the girl meet.

I'm really glad that it is close to my office. I often come here to clear my mind and for a post lunch walk. I wish there was a natural grass area where you can sit down and have a picnic.

Once again, I'm not entirely sure how long this statue will remain since I suspect that there will be a time when places will want to move on from their past.

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.
