Explore Hong Kong Island with this compelling in-app audio tour and see where East meets West in perfect harmony! Our walk starts at the central pier. The first landmark on the route is the best-known buildings of Hong Kong – the two skyscrapers of the International Financial Center. The local architecture reminds of the colonial heritage – you will learn about it, passing by the Old Supreme Court Building. On the same street, you'll admire the city's fourth-tallest skyscraper made of glass – the tower of the Bank of China. You have to save your strength, so the tour will lead you to the peaceful Hong Kong Park, which houses the world's biggest aviary and the unique Tea Ware Museum. After leaving the Park, you will head to the beautiful St John's Cathedral – a building you would expect to see in Europe rather than Asia. After the Gothic Revival style, you'll see an example of elegant Georgian architecture – the Government House. Then, you'll have a little rest again once you step into the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. By the end of our walk, you'll see the imposing Old Police Station on Hollywood Road and admire the extremely popular outdoor escalator. Finally, you'll be invited to enjoy the view from the Victoria Peak, where you'll take a moment to soak in the awe-inspiring views of Hong Kong's landscape and let the energy of this extraordinary city engulf your senses. Let's embark on this unforgettable journey and explore the Pearl of the Orient!

Directions
Founded in 1864 under British colonial administration, Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens opened to the public in 1871, making them one of Hong Kong’s oldest public green spaces. Initially devoted to plants, the gardens later developed animal collections; their present name was adopted in 1975 to reflect both roles. Set on a hillside above Central, the grounds offer a glimpse of colonial-era park planning while serving as an everyday retreat for residents and visitors. Tropical plantings and a greenhouse featuring orchids, bromeliads and carnivorous plants share the site with enclosures for birds and other animals. This combination of horticulture, wildlife and winding paths gives the gardens a distinctive place in Hong Kong’s civic life, just above the dense city streets.
Before you enter
- Wear shoes with good grip: paths climb and descend across the hillside.
- Bring water, especially during Hong Kong’s hot, humid months.
- Check current opening hours for the sections you want to see; the greenhouse listing shows 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. daily.
What to expect
- Expect a landscaped city retreat rather than a large wildlife park.
- Look for tropical plants alongside bird and animal enclosures.
- Allow extra walking time for slopes and winding paths.
During your visit
- Take breaks on the uphill stretches, particularly in warm weather.
- Give animals space and follow signs around their enclosures.
- Visit the greenhouse to see orchids, bromeliads and carnivorous plants.
