I planned to get to this park on my last trip, I have such an interest in visiting parks. But I only managed to get to Kowloon Park (I liked it too), and Hong Kong Park passed by, climbed escalator almost until Victoria Peak, and then he walked on foot and went to the south of the island, but it was no longer on the way to return. On a recent trip, I filled this gap. I must say right away that in general the park is very pleasant, but not quite suitable for people with limited mobility, including fragile mothers with small children..

Hong Kong Park
Hong Kong Park is located on the slope of Victoria Peak, right next to the stop tram, riding to the top. Due to its inclined location, it has such a feature as a vertical drop. Somewhere this moment was bypassed by a long and gentle path, and somewhere they made a steep staircase. We were unpleasantly surprised that the park is not fully thought out and is not entirely intended for parents with strollers, and even more so for disabled people. You need to know the territory very well so as not to stumble upon a staircase, and, as I understand it, not to get into some sectors at all. Since Egor is still relatively light, I can carry the stroller in my arms, but can a weak woman be able to do this? Moreover, the park has an excellent large playground (4 tiers), which means they come there with children. Yes, I now know how to get there without stairs, but this is not the shortest way if you entered from the other side.

The rest of the park makes only pleasant impressions. Every millimeter of it is well-groomed and aesthetically beautiful. Paved paths, trees and flowers with name plates, a small waterfall and a cave, a cafe, a huge aviary for birds, and even a conservatory. True, we weren't inside.

An observation deck with a spiral staircase is located approximately in the center of the park. If you go up there, you will see a view of the park, which is a kind of oasis surrounded by a wall of skyscrapers, through which you can see Victoria Harbor. Here, at the height, you once again realize that you are in a certain city of the future, where every piece of land is not left unattended. Yes, many will argue and say that Singapore is much cooler, but for me Hong Kong is very even.
