Kowloon Walled City Park, Urban park in Kowloon City District, China
The 3.1-hectare park features eight themed zones with seasonal gardens, floral walkways, and traditional Chinese pavilions throughout the grounds.
Originally established as a Chinese military post in 1847, the Kowloon Walled City was demolished in the 1990s to create this public park.
The central Yamen, the sole preserved building from the Qing period, houses exhibitions depicting daily life in the former walled city.
Free guided tours allow visitors to explore the architectural elements and historical remnants scattered throughout the park grounds.
The Chinese zodiac garden displays twelve sculptures representing traditional astrological signs alongside giant pebble-constructed chess boards.

Hong Kong contains numerous viewpoints that provide different perspectives on the city. From Victoria Peak at 1,810 feet (552 meters) above sea level to locations along the harbor, these sites show the interaction between urban development, water and mountain terrain. Observation points include summits such as Lion Rock and Tai Mo Shan, platforms like Sky100 at 1,289 feet (393 meters), and hiking trails such as Dragon's Back. The Lugard Road viewing area and Wilson Trail offer outlooks during short walks, while vehicles like the Ngong Ping cable car and Star Ferry provide moving vantage points. Historic structures complement the network. The Man Mo Temple from 1847 sits among multistory buildings in Sheung Wan. Ping Shan Tower in Yuen Long dates to the 18th century. The Kowloon Walled City Gardens mark the former site of a densely populated enclave. More recent facilities like the Yick Cheong Building in Quarry Bay display residential architecture from the 1960s. The Harbour Promenade in Tsim Sha Tsui runs along Victoria Harbour with direct views of the island skyline. Po Lin Monastery on Lantau stands at 1,640 feet (500 meters) elevation. The Cape D'Aguilar Marine Reserve on the Shek O Peninsula combines coastal formations with observation points. Each location shows a different aspect of Hong Kong's urban and natural environment.
