Hong Kong Dragon Garden, Chinese private garden in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong Dragon Garden is a private Chinese garden in Tsuen Wan that spans a large area and combines traditional landscaping with stone pavilions, rock formations, and water features arranged across multiple levels. The grounds are laid out with carefully positioned plants and pathways that guide visitors through distinct natural spaces.

Lee Iu-cheung bought a barren hill at Tsing Lung Tau from the Hong Kong Government in 1949 and spent about 20 years planning, planting and building the garden. The mansion was designed by Zhu Bin, the first Chinese architect to study at the University of Pennsylvania, as a golden-wedding gift for Lee and his wife. The garden was recognised as a Grade II heritage site in 2006, and in 2016 management passed to Lumina College, which ran it as a rural campus until 2021.

The garden follows traditional Chinese design principles with dragon motifs, curved pathways, and thoughtful placement of elements that create new views at every turn. These design choices shape how visitors naturally move through the space and what they notice as they walk.

The garden lies at 32-42 Castle Peak Road in Tsing Lung Tau, with views over Lantau and the Tsing Ma Bridge. It was open to the public from the 1960s to the 1980s and again under Lumina College from 2016 to April 2021, when guided tours were organised. Management has since returned to the Lee family, so check access before travelling.

The garden's name comes from its location at Tsing Lung Tau, where 'lung' means dragon; the site was bought in 1949 as a barren hill and took about 20 years to plan and landscape. Its ancestral hall has two colourful glass windows modelled on a Catholic church, with Chinese cloud, bird and rectangular patterns.
