Kowloon Park
Info from Hong Kong's Great Outdoors
Like an oasis in the city, this park offers a refreshing contrast to the bustling streets that surround it. Big old trees provide shade for paths winding past lawns, shrubberies, and ponds – one of which is a “bird lake” with captive flamingos and ducks. Also good for watching wild birds, with some relatively tame resident species, and migrants.
Readily accessible, including entrance by mosque on Nathan Road (next to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station).
