Nestled among the towering skyscrapers of central Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Park is a small haven of peace and quiet, ideal to grab a breath of fresh air in a bustling urban jungle.

Visitors can visit a sprawling man-made lake which showcases several waterfalls and rock pools. The impeccably groomed park also features the Edward Youde Aviary which is home to over 75 species of birds native to Asia.
Things to Do
Things to do include visiting the colonial Flagstaff House which houses the Hong Kong Tea Ware Museum. Visitors can take in a collection fine tea related antiques and take part in a tea tasting session as well.
How to Get to There
The Hong Kong Park is situated on Cotton Tree Drive and can be reached through the Admiralty MTR using the C1 exit. Given the central location of the park, it is within easy distance to many a family room hotel in Hong Kong including the likes of Dorsett Wanchai Hong Kong.
Places to Eat
Several kiosks around the park sell snacks and drinks while there is a fully serviced restaurant by the lake. There is a great deli counter at the supermarket inside the Pacific Place shopping mall which is below the park, where one can load up on goodies for a small picnic by the lake and enjoy some quality time with one’s family.
