Episode 7: Hong Kong Park

Hong Kong Park is a beautiful green zone squeezed in between skyscrapers and highways. It was opened in 1991, and has been a popular city destination ever since. Every year, about a million people come here in order to enjoy its calmness and serenity. Flowing water has been chosen as a theme for this park, linking different parts by waterfalls, streams, ponds and artificial cliffs. The landscaping of this park has won many awards from all over the world and it appears to be a real gem. The park captures a natural landscape, but also houses the world's biggest aviary and very special museum of tea ware, located in Flagstaff House, a historical Victorian building. The Tea Ware Museum is part of the Art Museum and it houses the most special and unique collection of china and tea ware.The aviary is an area of 3000 square meters surrounded by net, so birds can fly freely without feeling caged. Here, you could also find a 6-storey children’s playground (each storey is meant for a different age), where your kids will have loads of fun while you are enjoying the area.If you want to have a little break, this will be just the place. If you do not wish to do so, please follow the road that runs beside the park.
