Hong Kong Flower Show

  • July 5, 2001
  • Rated 2 of 5 by kylebarber from Seattle, Washington
I headed over to the Causeway Bay neighborhood primarily to check out Victora Park, which turned out to be closed to the general public. This was due to the fact that the park administration was hosting the annual Hong Kong Flower Show. For one week in March the immense grounds are covered with elaborate displays of flower arrangement and landscaping. Since I had some time to kill before catching a train and the admission was less than $2 (14 Hong Kong dollars), I figured I'd take a look and see what all the fuss was about.

I'm still not sure why there were such large crowds, as the arrangements weren't much more interesting than what you might see at a county or state fair back in the United States. Flowers were arranged to look like animals, miniature lawns were decorated with babbling brooks and old-fashioned water wheels, and numerous concession stalls were hawking junk food. Victoria Park itself was also kind of unexciting compared to the critter friendly Hong Kong Park just a mile away. If you're looking for a place to get some tennis in on your trip to Hong Kong, however, there are a number of outdoor courts available.
