Lucas
★★★★★a month agoBeautiful park with a very interesting history, that being it’s built on the old site of the old Kowloon walled city. That was demolished in the 90s. The park offers a nice break of the surrounding city with small ponds, garden paths, and lovely greenery. It is worth exploring if you enjoy green spaces!
Steve Webster
★★★★★6 months agoAbsolutely beautiful and quite haunting. There is a section where you can reach about and watch the history of the walled city, as well as looked at types of stores/ providers they had. Pretty easy to get to from the MTR. Definitely worth a visit
