Hong Kong Park and Victoria Peak

One of the best parts of Hong Kong has to be their parks.  On Wednesday, we visited Hong Kong Park and we were there for several hours.  We started at the Tea Ware Museum where they had very old tea pots, information on different teas and modern art tea pots.  Then we spent time wondering around the pond and through the free conservatory.

The best part of this park, in my opinion, was the walk through aviary.  It was huge and had an elevated boardwalk so you could look down on the ground dwelling birds and up at those in the trees.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone.  And it was free.

Next we headed up Victoria peak, a high point on Hong Kong Island.  We took a tram up the steep hill and arrived at a "tourist trap mall" as my mother called it.  In order to see the view without paying more money, we went for a walk around the the hill.  It literally went right around the peak and was 3.5 km in length.  There were great views from here and it was a very nice walk through the trees.
