From Hong Kong Central, you can catch the Star ferry across to Kowloon, which is on the mainland (very cute wooden-floored ferries). Some Australians were stationed there in World War 2.
We walked from the harbour to the brilliant and bursting Kowloon Park, which also has a small memorial-type museum and an aviary.
I was pleasantly surprised by the mossy trees (with a backdrop of skyscrapers on the other side of the road), and the lianas, and the flamingos.
This lovely park is a hidden treasure well within the most convenient and crowded parts of Hong Kong. It is a secret haven well worth a relaxed investigation.
