Sarah Chiguer TuppenNovember 15, 2017Lovely park. Very clean and green for a central HK park. There’s an animal section in the park with birds, monkeys and lemurs amongst others. Very relaxing place to go for a walk or to read a book

Magdalena MrázkováMay 23, 2017In the middle of skyscraper jungle is a rather tiny zoo. The entrance is free so it works more like a tranquil park with animals (mainly birds and monkeys/apes) within the cityUpvoteDownvote
Katie FarquharMarch 12, 2017Go for some tranquility amongst the city. I liked the fountain and the bamboo trail.

A small, but nice Zoo. Free entry!Upvote1Downvote
Justin ApplebyOctober 1, 2011Free entry (i wondered in by accident). Looks like best time of the day is morning as that's when the animals are active.Upvote3Downvote
Ben TalbotAugust 10, 2010Get there early morning to watch the primates being fed. Watching them today was amazing. Not sure if feeding time is regular but it was around 8.30/9.Upvote1Downvote
