Ap Lei Chau is still one of those places with a sleepy-town vibe (but with the recent opening of…read morethe MTR, who knows how long that'll last), so it's no surprise that there are dedicated areas for people to walk around and relax--a rarity in Hong Kong. The use of the word 'park' for this place is somewhat misleading, as you won't find open fields of grass here. Nevertheless, there are recreational and fitness facilities located within the space. The main attraction is a "Wind Tower" shaped like a fishing junk--a little homage to the history of Ap Lei Chau, which started as a fishing village. There's a viewing platform at the top of the tower, which allows for great views of the Aberdeen typhoon shelter. At night, the tower lights up, although I've never really understood why this was necessary. The park is open 24/7, so make use of the jogging trail, or just sit out and enjoy views of the harbour.

I visited Lantau Island last year with my hb…read more Lantau Island is famous for the Tian Tan Buddha, the Po Lin Monastery, the Hong Kong Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360 cable car. And lessor known areas that our driver pointed out to us in a distance, Shek Pik Prison, a prison for mid to long term sentences and for life imprisonments. And other corrections facilities that we didn't see, but on the island. On Lantau Island, you feel the remoteness away from the hustle and bustle of the Hong Kong metropolis. It used to be completely farm country until it became touristy with the erecting of the Buddha and Disneyland. On our drive, we saw some water buffaloes (similar to the carabao in the Philippines, maybe same species) on the winding roadways that I thought were statues because they were just so still. Sitting or standing. But our driver told me that years ago when the government wanted to develop part of the land, a lot of farmers (landowners) let their water buffaloes roam free and become wild instead of killing them, so today, they inhabit the island. I absolutely love it and wouldn't mind coming back to explore again when pandemic is over.

Hong Kong Park / Admiralty (Hong Kong) -- For the swarms of tourists that trundle down from…read moreVictoria Peak, I am amazed how just a few actually entered this bucolic park when they get off the tram. Jamie W and I were pretty much the only ones who walked into the park, which was totally fine by us. I was surprised to find out it was only built in 1991 because it felt well established as an urban oasis. Because it's on a hillside, the landscape is scrupulously terraced connected by leisurely paths festooned with flowers. The central pond was quite a draw for serious photographers with huge lotus plants, turtles sunning themselves on the rocks, and colorful schools of koi converging on the shoreline. Do yourself a favor and take twenty minutes to step away from the dim sum table and enjoy the nature. RELATED - Exploring Hong Kong?

As such, it is a bare bones park - no toilets, no water fountains, no conveniences that I know of. For some, these are best type of parks while for others, they may want the convenience of skatepark connected to a larger park. As a skatepark, it has all the basic obstacles: rails, stairs, fun boxes and a general street plaza. Ollie and flip tricks can be practiced, as well as the occasional slide and grind tricks. Trees surround the park and there is a shed area if it should rain or if its too sunny. I find this park great fun, especially for those who live around the area. I've only ever been to it once but I enjoyed the simplicity of the park, so much so that we stayed for over 4 hours. It is easily accessible, and although it is situated roadside, it doesn't get too dusty. Apart from skateboarding, the park can also be used for inline skating aka rollerblading. The easiest way to get to the skatepark is via MTR, drop off at Tai Wo Hau station. There aren't a lot of skaters around these parts, so if you find yourself always skating at Mei Foo or the other bigger parks, come try out the skatepark here to practice your tricks. Make sure that you bring your own water when you come to this park as there are no refreshment kiosks nearby.

To access this one, you'd have to walk up the steep hill that is Aberdeen Street or the hidden staircase off Staunton St, unless you're coming from Caine Road for which you're lucky to walk downwards. You'll find a lot of benches, some covered, some not, along with a playground. Perfect to enjoy on a nice day. It's close proximity to PMQ and the Midlevels escalators makes it an ideal stop for tourists who may be overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle, locals who need a break, and those who have small children who want to run around.
