HONG KONG PARK

To each person who is very dear to me:
.
In the noon, on Monday the 23 of June at 2:00pm, I had to attend a meeting in Central District and the meeting place was quite near to Hong Kong Park. At 1:25pm, I had arrived the meeting place early for 35 minutes and I decided to go on a quick visit to Hong Kong Park. This park covers an area of 8 hectares, and has preserved a number of garrison buildings built between 1842 and 1910. There is a local artificial lake that I have been hoping to see, but my time was bound within 35 minutes, and it was rather limited.

I want to share those pictures of where I spend some time on that noon. This is Hong Kong Park, the most popular park in Hong Kong. At the centre of the park, I saw an artificial lake and a waterfall, which were built on the site of a tennis court of the former garrison. Walking along the lakeside path, turtles and japan cyprinoids can be seen everywhere. Honestly, the lake was a must-see I thought while I was there.

A 30-minute visit passed by quickly and I went back to the meeting place around at 1:57pm. I was dying for another visit at this park because some famous buildings such as the Flagstaff House, the Rawlinson House, the Wavell House, the Cassels Block and the like that I missed in that visit. All in all, it was a good to fill out my gap.

I advise anyone who reads this to take a look at this Park.
Yours faithfully,
