Green Heart of Concrete Jungle: Hong KongPark

#hongkongtrip The Central Park of Hong Kong is located in the Central district, closer to Cotton Tree Drive. The park area is 80,000 square meters. This park is a vivid example of the design of the future outside, and the beautiful nature inside. The park is surrounded by futuristic skyscrapers. It was opened in 1991 on the site of an abandoned area of the city. Now you can enjoy exotic nature and animals here: from parrots common in those places to rare birds and animals. If you exit the Central metro station and walk through the HSBC Bank head office towards the terminus of the funicular following Victoria Peak, you can (and should!) find yourself in the central park of Hong Kong. Surprisingly, literally 5-7 minutes of a leisurely walk uphill from a huge metropolis, where skyscrapers literally overshadow the sky, there is almost a real jungle. "Almost" because the park has an excellent network of paths and signs, it is almost impossible to get lost there, and it is quite possible to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The park is open to the public, and since its opening, up to a million people visit it every year. Hong Kong Park has won many international awards for its magnificent and unusual design. In these photos, I will try to convey the flavor and atmosphere of this park. Observation deck It is a 30-meter tower with a spiral staircase, which has 105 steps. Moreover, which is very convenient, it is necessary to climb one ladder and descend another. After a long day at work or long walks through the stone jungle of the city, it is so pleasant to walk along the quiet paths of the park and enjoy its calm and peaceful landscapes. How to get to Hong Kong Park Metro. You need to get on at the station closest to your hotel, and you need to get off at the Admiralty station, exits either C1 or F. Be careful, the underground network in the subway can have up to twenty different exits, if you go to others, you can easily get confused.
