All great cities have a signature park. NYC has Central Park, San Francisco has Golden Gate Park, Paris has Bois de Boulogne and so on. Hong Kong Park may not be as massive as these but it's a beautiful respite in the middle of a concrete jungle. It has a lot going on with museums, restaurants, a butterfly garden, aviary and much more. It's particularly beautiful at night during various festivals when it's lit up with lanterns. And like many things in HK, is free. It's immaculately clean and there's no homeless. Take notes America.
What an amazing park! You're in a big city and surrounded by skyscrapers. This place is a break in the mid of such a city. There is wonderful lake with a coy pond and a bird watching tours. The layout is phenomenal with different landscape. It's also pathway to the peak tram with very easy to follow signs in English as well. It's a great park to have a stroll and enjoy nature in a big city.
This park actually wasn't all that bad, and for a city that is renowned for its lack of space, and its skyscrapers, it is quite impressive to see that there does happen to be a lot of green spaces about, particularly green spaces where you can spend some time relaxing, walking, and doing things. In fact there are quite a few things to do here in this park, which certainly does make it one of those good places to visit.
This park is beautiful and a free activity to do in HK. Love the contrast between the modern architecture and the lush vegetation. My favorite part is the butterfly garden. It has a multilevel playground with a huge sand box. (My daughter asked to be back almost every day, she loved it) When we went to the park the aviary was closed but we visited the greenhouse and had lots of fun walking trough the different climatic conditions. There is even a direct route from the subway station (pacific place) to the park. Very easy to get to. We will be back!
Opened in 1991, Hong Kong Park is one of the city's better parks. Here you'll find some pretty sweet spots for your instagram pics including a waterfall and a man-made pond that they cleverly named Artificial Lake. But that's not all. This 8 hectare garden also houses a few colonial buildings that were once occupied by the military during WWII. A Teaware museum and a tea house serving vegetarian dim sum makes this park a good Sunday stroll. The walk-through aviary is simply breath taking and you'll likely want to take a picture or two. If you're not too tired, the Tai Chi Garden section was built in honour of doctors and civil servants that lost their lives during the SARS outbreak. It's a more tranquil part of the park and at the end of the garden is the spiralling tower vantage point. Walk up the 30 meter tower for a beautiful view of Hong Kong, Victoria Harbour, Mid-Levels and the Peak.
Hong Kong Park is the perfect example (at least for me) that how often we fail to treasure the things we already have in our hands. I'm old enough to remember the opening of Hong Kong Park, and my excitement when I first visited there. It got an aviary, a conservatory, the "vantage point", etc. Pretty easily accessible from Admiralty MTR station and buses (route 23 for instance), and it's never crowded with tourists (excepts Sunday, where I'm always amazed how many Filipinos are actually in HK). Then it came the time I studied at a high school right next to Hong Kong Park. It became my daily route to pass through it, and I got used to it. I stopped appreciating the nature and the great things about this Park. For 5 years I didn't visit the aviary once nor conservatory once. Then I grew up. I graduated from uni. I was busy with time every day and every year, and I had inevitably less and less time in my life. And occasionally I had a chance to come back to Hong Kong Park, I'd think, damn, I wished I spent more time here. Then I tried to get into to the conservatory but only to find that it closed at 5pm. And god knows when will be the next time I visit again. Park's not just for tourists. Let's spend an afternoon enjoying your time here.
If you need to take a breather from the fast-paced, overwhelming Hong Kong crowds, take a detour through here! I've barely explored this park (with the weather being hot/humid and being 8.5 months pregnant, it's not the best time to visit for me) but I've already fallen in love with what I've seen! I entered from the Pacific Place area and enjoyed the fountains, waterfall, koi pond, tea museum, and lush greenery against the backdrop of Hong Kong's concrete jungle. Once I'm up to it (and when the weather works better in my favour) I'll make it out to the conservatory and aviary and report back. In terms of "wildlife", you can see turtles in the pond and butterflies fluttering around the flowers and plants, so there are still a lot of nature photo opportunities in this area even if you can't go further in.
An unexpected park to find smack in the middle of Hong Kong's Central neighborhood. It's steep, with several large staircases and paths to climb. In parts where it's manicured, it's got handsome paths and ponds full of koi fish and turtles. In parts where it's not manicured, it's lush and almost jungly. The highlight of the park appeared to me to be the Edward Youde Aviary, which is a very large netted space with an elevated wood pathway zig-zagging through its treetops. There are hundreds of birds around. Most of the ones I saw were shy but a handful seem comfortable enough around people that they don't fly off as you approach. We came here on a weekday morning and pretty much had the aviary to ourselves. I found myself lingering far longer than I'd expected, spotting bird after bird. In another part of the park, there's a Teaware Museum that's free but not essential, and a tea house, Lok Cha, that is beautifully designed and offers some dim sum alongside a broad menu of teas. I didn't try the dim sum, but the tea was swell and the tea house is a great place to chill for a bit. They have live music on Sundays. I'd say this park is a must-see for any tourist, even if you only pass through parts of it en route to the Peak Tram.
With a wall of skyscrapers on one side and mountains on the other, Hong Kong Park makes for one of the more dramatic city centre green spaces I've been to. I say 'green spaces', but what makes this eight hectare area different is its emphasis on the artificial - the fountain plaza, conservatory, aviary, man-made ponds and waterfalls. So pretty much designed to look anything but natural! (But that's no bad thing). There are numerous paths throughout the landscape for you to amble along, up steps winding around the contours and trees. The Flagstaff House Museum of Teaware (which as a staunch tea drinker I really wanted to visit) was closed when I was there and is on the northernmost tip of the park. It's housed in the oldest colonial building in HK which is still in its original location.
Spacious, gorgeous park located right in the centre of the hectic city. Everything is so well maintained and there are so many paths and walkways you can go through/climb. There is no entrance fee here, and neither is there one into the teaware museum located just inside of the park. Beside most plants there are signs with their names in English, Latin (scientific name) and in Chinese, so they definitely made an effort in education the public about various species. In the summertime there are a dozen or so small food stalls selling overpriced ice cream or popsicles, but definitely worth it in the humid summer heat. Tons to see and their seasonal displays are always so beautiful, so if you're in the city, it's definitely worth it to check out for a visit. You can stay for a quick stroll of 15 minutes, or also take a day wandering around and admiring all their luscious greenery. On Sundays though, this park is filled with a lot of hired help, and all the benches/seats are crowded, so do beware of that.
Cool little park in the city that was easily accessible by metro. (Though a bit of a walk is required), Definitely check out the zoo if you are in the area.
Visited here during Chinese New Year earlier in 2017. Kind of like the Hong Kong version of Central Park NYC. Situated fairly close to city center, it is a beautiful haven to stroll and take a break from the hustle and bustle, or walk off some of the delicious food in Hong Kong that you should have have been eating already. You can spend a long time here and see a lot of nature.
Lovely park in a big city just minutes from our hotel. Nice big walkways with amazing views. The turtles and koi were plentiful. Not crowded at all! Definitely worth it to explore!
Hong Kong Park / Admiralty (Hong Kong) -- For the swarms of tourists that trundle down from Victoria 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?

This is an awesome park with very cool attractions, nice water exhibits/gardens, and a tea ware museum. Also HK has the most adorable trash cans ever, which are on full display in this park. Was t able to check out the areas near the mountain or higher up but will do so next time. Highly recommended! read more
Hong Kong Park is an oasis from busy urban surroundings, located in a city brimming with skyscrapers. The narrow lake is the highlight of the park, where you'll find rock pools and a waterfall. It's currently decorated with the mid-autumn holiday elements. read more

The park is a nice respite from the bustling city, and it is directly adjacent to the Peak Tram, which makes it an ideal stop before climbing to Victoria Peak. Complete with ponds and water falls. Surrounding sky scrapers give this a mini-Central Park (NYC) feel. read more
