- 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.

- MsMkonnichiwaSydney, Australia127 contributionsAn oasis of calm and beauty near the heart of HK. 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.

- jbm4075Las Vegas, NV197 contributionsGetting to Kadoorie: If coming from HK Island, take the East Rail Line to Tai Wo station, take a green taxi to Kadoorie Farm.
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.

But what makes it distinctive is the fact that it offers a great vantage point for the Central Government Offices which consist of an East Wing and a West Wing linked at the top by an overhanging structure making the whole architecture resembling that of an open door. Also note that on Sundays the park is overwhelmed by Phillpino maids who congregate there on their day off.Written 3 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael K809 contributionsThis is an interesting place to visit with many colorful birds on display in cages. There are also cute rattan bird cages for sale. It is also conveniently located at the end of Flower Market Road so you can visit both the flower market and the bird market at the same time.Written 21 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael K809 contributionsThis is a nice small park with banyon trees but nothing spectacular to write home about except for a spiral staircase at the southeastern corner of the park. It forms an interesting pattern when viewed from the top, which makes for an interesting photograph. Note that on Sundays, Philipino maids on their day off tend to congregate at the shady area at the bottom of the staircase.Written 3 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China156,871 contributionsThis is the largest city park in the New Territories. It is located between the Tuen Mun MTR Station and Town Centre and includes 12.5 hectares of much needed rural and leisure space for those in Tuen Mun.
There are some interesting features within the park including a large artificial lake, a long series of cascades, and Reptile House with around 25 animals on exhibit. There is a two-sectioned innovative children's play area, elderly exercise equipment, jogging and walking paths, model boat pond, small amphitheatre, nice landscaping and flower beds, and some really impressive large tree specimen providing shade.
Overall, this is a nice park and much needed green space in the busy town of Tuen Mun. It is a good place for those with residents, visitors and particularly those with children wanting to get away from the crowded streets and malls in the area.Written 18 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gardens are a beautiful escape from the traffic of the city.
A real good place to collect your thoughts and bin the bad ones!
While here you might as well visit the monastery/nunnery of Chi Lin.Written 25 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is the Mody Road Garden, which is basically an extension of the Urban Council Centenary Garden which is divided from this garden by Mody Road.
What is interesting about the Mody Road Garden section is the Cultural Backyard (City Dress Up) configuration of colourful geometric shaped instillations found here. These are fun for the kiddies. As are the three bronze hats that are installed here in the garden. There is a bit of landscaping here and some expected park seats as well.Written 13 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I personally find this area a bit untidy. You can also see dried meat and susages hanging from some shop windows.
If you are looking for shopping u can try elsewhere.Written 2 November 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Opening hours are 10am to 8pm daily.
You can also find outdoor installations of Niki de Saint Phalle, the French-American sculptor in the City Art Plaza space in front of New Town Plaza entrance, just across from the Town Hall.
The sculptures are eccentric contemporary forms of human figures with colourful mosaic attire. The sculptures are of interesting shape and composition, providing visitors something unique and different to look at when passing through New Town Plaza shopping mall and the Sha Tin Park area of the city.Written 12 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is 1.5 acres in size and one of two parks in Hong Kong dedicated to King George V. The other is in Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island. The Kowloon park was opened in 1941 and originally included a statue of King George V. However, it along with the park facilities were destroyed during the Japanese occupation.
After WWII, traditional Chinese pavilion structures were built within the park grounds. You can also see a traditional Chinese style park entrance on the north side as well as some nice landscaping with wooden pavilion and grotto rock formations. Plenty of park benches with fair shade from the mature trees found within the park grounds. Football pitch and children's playground area round out the King George V Park in Kowloon.
On the whole, it is a nice little urban park and opportunity for area residents to escape the busy street scenes on all sides. Worth a few minutes for a brief sit down if in the area and in need of a rest. Otherwise, you're not too far from the much larger and interesting Kowloon Park around 5 minutes walk south if this is what you are looking for.Written 10 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael K809 contributionsWan Chai Park is dominated by a large banyon tree. Other than that, it is the usual faire for neighborhood park including facilities for children's playground, soccer fields, and even a pool for launching model boats.Written 2 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- L SHong Kong, China2,328 contributionsNina Fossil Garden is located at outdoor area of Nina Tower. It Covers an area of approximately 80,000 sq ft. It displays a collection of tree fossils. There are very few visitors and the guided tour has been suspended. There are only very few pieces of signage to introduce the formation of fossils, so it is difficult to know more about the fossils without the tour.Written 3 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
