Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park, Amusement park in Lai Chi Kok, Hong Kong

The park stretched across 1.6 million square feet, featuring mechanical rides, game booths, water attractions, and multiple swimming pools fed by mountain springs.

Established in 1949 by Principal Shek Chung-shan of Sacred Heart English College, the park initially charged 50 cents for adults and 30 cents for children.

The park included a theater that accommodated 1,000 spectators for nightly Cantonese opera performances, an open-air cinema, and a water ballroom.

The park operated daily from 8 AM until midnight, with various attractions spread across different zones including Song Dynasty City and an ice skating rink.

A Burmese elephant named Tino, which arrived with the Shen Chang Fu Circus in 1958, resided in the park's zoo within a 500-square-foot enclosure.
