big day out
Park Life Grab a picnic basket, slap on some sunscreen and head out to enjoy Hong Kong’s most popular parks
Kowloon Park
Inspiration Lake
Located in the middle of the city, Kowloon Park is home to over 100 different species of birds. Large crowds of flamingos and swans can be found swimming in the Bird Lake or head over to the Aviary to witness multicoloured parrots and rhinoceros hornbills strutting their stuff.
A stone’s throw from Hong Kong Disneyland, Inspiration Lake is one of the city’s most magical parks. With grassy areas to play and paddle boats for hire, there is plenty for the whole family to do. Don’t forget to pack a picnic as food offerings in the park are limited.
Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens In the heart of the Central district is Hong Kong’s oldest park, divided into two parts which are connected by a pedestrian subway; the eastern section is home to a large children’s playground, aviaries and a greenhouse. The western side of the park is home to a range of animals including monkeys, orangutans and giant turtles.
