New Territories - Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden
If you love nature, Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden is a must visit. Originally set up for aiding poor farmers in the New Territories in Hong Kong, it later shifted its focus to promote conservation and biodiversity in Hong Kong and South China. The Kadoorie brothers, Lord Lawrence Kadoorie and Sir Horace Kadoorie, planted the seeds for Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden when they founded the Kadoorie Agricultural Aid Association in 1951. A memorial is inside the garden. Located at Pak Ngau Shek below Kwun Yum Shan (Goddess of Mercy Mountain) in the central New Territories, Kadoorie Farm offers all kind of treats for the nature lover. Its also a good workout if you elect to walk around without taking a shuttle bus. :p You might even see some wild monkeys if you are lucky. To reach Kadoorie Farm, catch the KCR to Tai-Po Market and then take bus 64K until you reach the Kadoorie Farm stop. Its about 25mins. For further information, click here. |
