Hong Kong Park
Built in 1991, the park was not the biggest in Hong Kong, nor the one with most of nature's treasures. It's attraction lies in the indoor avairy and conservatory, and also its vicinity to the city centre.

Walking in the park is an enjoyable experience. There is no noise made by vehicles but birds' chirping; there is no noisy conversation on mobile phones but relaxed talking among friends and families; there is no stubborn cement walls but bamboo fenses surrounding the green plants. Sometimes it is too easy to forget about the hurrying and rushing people who can be seen just a few minutes ago.

The park was carefully designed to present as much view as possible under the space constrain. Besides the rich plantation in the park, the artificial lakes and waterfalls are also favourite spots for photo shooting. The air-conditioned conservatory is divided into three parts, the "Humid Plant House", "Dry Plant House" and the "Display Plant House".

On the other side of the park, there is a walk-through aviary, the home for as much as 800 birds. The birds are free to fly around in the avairy, when humans have to walk on a one-way bridge. Sometimes a bird may be just inches from you, flashes by as if to surprise you. In the aviary, human the watcher may also be the watched in these beautiful creatures' eyes.

After some tedious walking and sight-seeing, it is nice to sit in the open area of Park Inn Restaurant, enjoying its food, drinks, and of course, its view.
