★★★★★3 months agoAmazing! Public toilet, drinking water, chairs to use, or just sit on the grass. Take your own food or buy something in one of those restaurants and cafes! Also, there was some kind of kid-friendly festival in the open space! We enjoyed some of the performances too! Loved it!

★★★★★7 months agoI love this area. It is not as crowded as Victoria Harbour and less touristic, and much more peaceful and you can have a really nice view of the Hong Kong skyline and waterfront at night as well as in the daytime. You will find a lot of cruise ships and boats sailing in front of you. You also have a park behind you and a museum to explore. This area has a lot to offer. I highly recommend coming during the evening and staying till night.
