Kowloon Park
After the hectic surrounds of Tsim Sha Tsui, the tranquillity of Kowloon Park washes over you like a mountain spring. But this peaceful place was actually once an army fortress that was handed over by the military for public use in 1970.
For some relaxation, head to the Chinese Garden, which comprises a two-tier lotus pond linked by a rock cascade, and be sure to look out for the terrapins basking in the sun.
Don’t let a wet weather day put you off from visiting either: listening to the rain falling on the foliage from the park’s 200-metre sheltered walkway is pure bliss. There are also kung fu and lion dance performances every Sunday. You can find more information here.
