Kowloon Park is an oasis of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of Kowloon Peninsula. The park is famous for its refreshing environment of rare plants and animals, and its towers, corridors and other elements of traditional Chinese gardens.
During the Opium War, Kowloon Park was the base for Kowloon, Kuan Yung Emplacements built by Lin Zexu, which became a barrack for British army later. Built into a park by the Counsel, it is a “green lung” for Kowloon Peninsula now.
It attracts visitors by its strange plants, rare animals and Chinese classical garden design. Beside the road in the garden, there is a series of brand-new shops called Park Lane. What’s more, a garden was built on the roof of the shops and combined with the garden, which is very special.
