Nature in the City: Exploring Hong Kong Zoo and Botanical Gardens

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Nestled amidst the vibrant pulse of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Zoo and Botanical Gardens offers a peaceful sanctuary that provides a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle. After a day of exploring the energetic streets, we stumbled upon this tranquil gem—an idyllic retreat filled with lush landscapes and a delightful array of wildlife. While compact, the zoo boasts a variety of animal and bird exhibits, creating a calming environment ideal for unwinding. The best part? It’s completely free to enter. Open to the public at no charge, this hidden gem provides an easily accessible escape for those seeking a peaceful moment without any admission fees. Established in 1860, the Hong Kong Zoo and Botanical Gardens is one of the world’s oldest zoological and botanical centers, as well as the oldest park in Hong Kong, blending rich history with natural beauty. The gardens themselves are divided into two distinct sections. The eastern half, known as the Old Garden, features a children’s playground, aviaries, a greenhouse, and a picturesque fountain terrace garden, making it an ideal spot for families and leisurely strolls. In contrast, the western section, or the New Garden, is home to a diverse range of mammals and reptiles, adding a different dynamic to the park’s atmosphere. The botanical gardens are a visual feast that changes with the seasons. Each visit brings a fresh experience as the flowers bloom in different patterns, offering new colors and fragrances. Whether you’re enjoying the vibrant blossoms of spring or the lush greenery of summer, the gardens are a photographer’s paradise, with scenic paths shaded by fragrant blooms and towering trees. While the zoo is on the smaller side compared to the larger attractions in Hong Kong, it holds its own charm. The zoo is home to a variety of smaller animals, including monkeys, lemurs, and exotic birds, creating an intimate and serene environment. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of wildlife in a laid-back, peaceful setting. Conveniently located near Exit B of Admiralty Station or Exit D2 of Central Station, this oasis is easy to reach. #thingstodo #travel #naturalwonders #myitinerary #citydaytours #chinatrip

#Parent-child good places: #flower viewing, animals Winter is turning to spring, we have entered the season of flower viewing! There are many flowers in Hong Kong Park. In addition to seeing flowers and trees, you can also read the introduction about them When you come, remember to walk into the greenhouse to see the flowers. The orchids there are really beautifully grown😍 There are also many animals in the Hong Kong Zoo and Botanical Gardens. We saw a lot of birds and ring-tailed lemurs on the day we went! The most eye-catching must be the red crane Flamingo, usually read a lot of books, they were excited to see the physical object for a while😂 Originally, there was a part of the park with other monkeys and reptiles exhibition areas, but unfortunately it was not open that day🥺 The children's playground was also not open due to the epidemic. . . 👣We walked up at the Central MTR station, through Duddell Street, saw the Duddell Street gas street light then cross the road, walk up the stairs across the street, walk along Albert Path to Upper Albert Road, see the stairs opposite the bus station walk up to it! My brother walked for about 10 to 15 minutes to get there Before you go, you can check if the closed facilities are open again👇🏻 https://www.lcsd.gov.hk/tc/parks/hkzbg/index.html #daytrip #familytime #scenicspotguide#loveflowers#themeparks#naturalwonders
