This was the best thing we did in HK! Anyone who remembers the old Kai Tak Airport will be fascinated by this Park and the history of the Walled City. I had no idea that the Walled City even existed until we went to the Park. Don't miss the 3D model of what the Walled City was like and the... More

The exhibits are cool but entirely in Chinese. The garden is nice, but the city has much nicer.

This place has a fascinating history and has been very well laid out so that you can follow the story of its past. It is a very restful place with plenty of shade - a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the shops - well worth a visit.

The government knocked down the really interesting Kowloon Walled City, which I think could have been used as a museum of sorts. Now it is just a standard, if nice, park.

I went to Hong Kong with my parents in October last year. It was our first visit and the Kowloon Walled City Park was a highlight of our 6 night stay. The gardens and water features are amazing. To this day Dad still raves about it.

It's difficult to imagine a slum and a hideout for criminals has been transformed into such a nice park

Basically no activities are allowed in Hong Kong's park. The most interesting part of it is the large list, posted at the entrance, informing the visitor of all the things that are forbidden inside. Ridiculous.

If you know anything about the history of Hong Kong this is a must! The park is situated on the site of the old Kowloon Walled City. The gardens are beautifully kept and it is a peaceful place to sit and ponder!

It shows a glimpse of an interesting history of Hong Kong, the period and the place when the Walled City belongs to no one and no one took care.

It's quite nice to look at, but be warned that it's small. Your walk will be over in 10 minutes and then you're kind of stuck for something to do. Try one of the many local restaurants in that area (Kowloon City). Great place for Thai food as well, as there are many local Thai expats living and working in... More
