- burghughesGreendale, WI967 contributionsFor Americans this place is not comparable to SeaWorld but more like the good Aquariums you might find in Gatlinburg and Newport/Cincinnati. I thought the admission price of about $16 was a little high for the Philippines but still a bargain compared to US prices. My last visit was 2016 and it has definitely improved since then
It’s easy to spend a couple of hours here. There are numerous great displays as you go through the different sections. Kids I saw were having a wonderful time and adults young and old seemed to enjoy as well.
Most everything you want to see is on the first floor. The second makes you walk through long corridors to get to a small display of penguins followed by a “Christmas Village” that is nothing other than a place for photo ops. You can save some time and just skip floor 2.Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of plants - museums and things to see.
Definitely a bucket list target for tourists and locals alike.Written 24 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The cable car experience is always nice, not only for kids but for grownups as well. Near the cable car station at the mtr is a mall with factory outlet shops, great for shopping and dining. Queues for cable car tickets are long, as you'll find many tourists visiting. I would suggest buying tickets online, which give you the privilege of skipping the line. We, for example, got out crystal canin tickets via klook. Best time to visit is in the morning or before lunch.Written 31 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Penrapee RBangkok, Thailand211 contributionsThe nunnery is within a walking distance from Diamond Hill MTR, making it convenient to visit when you want to getaway from the buzz of the city. The wooden building is beautiful, perfectly preserved and it's peaceful inside with serene garden in the middle. It's a perfect place to spend some time relaxing and being with yourself while visiting such a busy city like Hong Kong.Written 3 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheMinistryofCommonSenseSingapore, Singapore163 contributionsreally fantastic walk across the top of HK- take some good comfortable shoes- but worth it for the views. Thoroughly enjoyable and will be back to experience again. Take water!!!Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bob2bkkBangkok, Thailand5,943 contributionsIn the midst of the skyscrapers, hotels, and office towers is Hong Kong Park. More accurately, it is located in the Admiralty area, with easy access from MTR station or tramlines. The park is high above Pacific Place Mall, which also allows easy access by the escalators that are available in the mall, close to Queensway. The park is adorned with beautiful foliage. The landscape of trees, flowers, shrubs, and gardens, intertwined with waterfalls, fountains, lakes, and easy to walk pathways, makes for a comfortable and stress-free visit. Great photo ops. It is not far from the Peak Tram so it could be combined with that visit also.Written 3 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ColinCape Coral, FL395 contributionsThe Buddha itself is not very old but that does not take anything of the beauty of this place.
The monastery is beautiful and a little village has been established to entertain tourists even more.
Stunning views and a beautiful landscape - the bus drive or gondola alone are worth the travel.Written 24 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went back on a recent sunny Sunday and took the ferry from Central to Yung Shue Wan, Yung Shue Wan is busy, and busy with expats who seem to reside here. There is a French bakery with fresh (i.e. crispy crust) baguette, and the - wonderful - Lamma Vinyl Record Store, a treasure trove for fans of old vinyls. The owner is very helpful trying to help you locate items, including in other shops on HK Island or Kowloon. The hike from Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan is about 75 minutes - halfway through there is a wonderful beach. Sok Kwu Wan has the better seafood restaurants and stands with locally produced XO sauces and shrimp paste. I took the ferry from Sok Kwu Wan back to Central...Written 1 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- John NHoofddorp, The Netherlands9 contributionsSet your alarm on “early” and visit the park around 8am and listen to the silence of the city and with a little luck you see everywhere people practicing Tai Chi ……it makes your Hong Kong-visit more special!!Written 13 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China156,946 contributionsThe Beach at Repulse Bay is probably one of the best we have in Hong Kong in terms of beach size, sand quality, access to public transportation and area restaurants and shopping. This is a nearly 300 metre long stretch of seaside nuzzled up against the southern shores of Hong Kong Island. It is one of a series of beaches including Deep Water Bay Beach (to the northwest), Middle Bay Beach and South Bay Beach (to the southeast) and by far the most interesting.
You can visit Repulse Bay beach by public bus or taxi or by foot walking the Seaview Promenade from Deep Water Bay. You'll find promenade and pier areas on both ends of the beach with park benches. Alongside the beach there is a shopping arcade called the pulse, where there are a handful of alfresco restaurants, coffee shop, ice-cream as well as s sports gear and other retailers.
The beach itself is pretty good. In addition to the nice sand quality, there are several rows of trees towards the back of the beach providing a bit of shade on sunny days. You'll find expected range of facilities including public toilets, changing stations and life guard stations, BBQ pits (unavailable during the pandemic). Swimming is good at Repulse Bay Beach with normal sea conditions and views are nice with favourable visibility.
Do note that Repulse Bay Beach can be very crowded during warmer weather weekends and public holidays during non-pandemic times. As such, you may find it more favourable to opt for a second beach like nearby Deep Water Bay Beach if there are too many people here. Otherwise, this is a very good beach to spend time with friends or family on Hong Kong Island.Written 25 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The water there is crystal clear. Calm and safe to swim. It has a free public beach. Usually well-maintained. I don’t think people rent out sunbath chairs and umbrellas, so it might be a good idea to bring your beach gears. For those who come with a group of friends, it might be a good idea to BBQ on the beach. You’ll find a couple of private BBQ sites where you can rent a table for four hours. Can’t recall the exact rate but the price is very affordable. The BBQ shop only offers the equipment and charcoal. You need to bring your own food.
For those who don’t want to BBQ, I’d recommend to come here in the afternoon, swim in the beautiful waters, take a walk in the village, and dine at one of Thai restaurants there. Shek O has very decent Thai food.
One thing to keep in mind is that Shek O is so remote that you can’t find an ATM there. If you need to withdraw cash, do it before your visit. Only one bus route reaches there and as a result, a long queue is expected on weekends.Written 8 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The birds were interesting, especially the flamingos, and their exhibits looked relatively nice. The primate exhibit on the other side of the road however, was a little depressing as the enclosures were pretty small, even for the smaller animals. So the zoo part we’d rate a 2.5. Where the gardens is a 5. Orchids upon orchids and other plants like bromeliads done very nicely. The glass house was pretty basic, not sure why more effort isn’t put into it, but the outdoor areas were lovely.Written 30 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China156,946 contributionsThe Kowloon Walled City Park is one of the most interesting city parks in Hong Kong. It is an attractive park centred around the site of the 19th-century Qing Dynasty fort which became the infamous Kowloon Walled City in the 20th century. The park is a tranquil place to enjoy beautiful gardens while learning important local history at the same time.
Historically, this is the location where fortifications were built in the early 19th-century to house Qing Dynasty forces in response to the arrival of the British. After WWII, an 'anything goes' city sprung up within the old fort grounds. It became known as the Kowloon Walled City, which was up to 16 stories of tightly packed illegal structures of residents and small businesses. The walled city was demolished by the HK authorities in the early 1990s and the grounds were then converted into the city park that you can visit and enjoy today.
Much of the park is designed as a Jingnan style garden and includes lovely pavilions, traditional walls, moon gate entrance courtyards surrounded by attractive landscaping, very tall trees, ponds, waterfall and streams. Other sections of the park are of more modern layout with grassy areas near to the Kowloon City Plaza Mall for seating as well as sporting and leisure grounds at the Carpenter Road Park area.
For fans of history and architecture, the historic Yamen (Alm's House) building is well worth spending time while visiting the Kowloon Walled City. This is an original structure from the old Qing Dynasty Fort that survived the days of the Walled City and remains as a reminder of both important periods of history for visitors today. You'll see exhibition panels and models of the 19th century fort and 20th century Walled City. In the back there are six rooms with visual exhibits as well. Just outside the Yamen building, you can also see relics discovered during excavations, including the famous Remnants of the South Gate.
Note: The Sung Wong Toi MTR Station (Tuen Ma line) opened a couple years ago. From Exit B1 & B2, you are 5 minute walk to the park. Alternatively, you can use the Lok Fu MTR Station (Kwun Tong line) which is a 12-15 minute walk from the park.Written 20 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Suggested itinerary at Kadoorie: Buy your ticket at reception and get a shuttle bus ticket at the same time, wait for the shuttle bus outside the entrance (comes every 15 mins), take the shuttle to Stop 4 (Kadoorie Brothers Memorial Haven).
From Kadoorie Brothers Memorial Haven, take the Sky Trail (45-60 mins) to T.S. Woo Memorial Haven (near Stop 5)
From there, take Enkianthus Walk until you get to the washrooms. From there, find the cobbled path along the stream all the way back down (approximately 60-90 mins). Note that you'll need to cross roads at times but the continuation of the cobbled path will always be found nearby on the other side of the road. Bring a walking stick!Written 8 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
