Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden is a renowned nature conservation area in Hong Kong. It not only boasts a rich variety of flora and fauna but is also an ideal spot for cherry blossom viewing. The farm is home to various types of cherry blossoms, including the commonly seen pink double-flowered cherry blossoms and the rarer white cherry blossoms. Located in the mountainous area of Lam Tsuen in Tai Po, the farm enjoys a cooler climate in spring, which allows the cherry blossoms to have a longer blooming period. The tranquil environment here lacks the crowded feel of urban parks, making it especially suitable for nature-loving visitors. Besides cherry blossoms, the farm also features various flowers, botanical gardens, and animal conservation areas, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms while experiencing the joy of being in nature. However, getting to Kadoorie Farm requires a longer travel time and an admission ticket, but for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and take a leisurely stroll in nature, it is still a highly recommended cherry blossom viewing spot.

Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, nestled on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan in Hong Kong’s New Territories, is a serene escape from the city’s hustle. Spanning 148 hectares, this conservation and education center blends lush gardens, wildlife rescue facilities, and hiking trails. Established in 1956, it’s evolved from aiding farmers to promoting sustainable living and biodiversity. The farm houses rescued animals like muntjac deer, leopard cats, and vibrant parrots, with informative enclosures detailing their stories. The botanical displays, including the Fern Walk and Orchid Sanctuary, are a treat for plant lovers, while trails like the Sky Trail offer stunning views over Yuen Long and Kwun Yum Shan’s summit. **Tips:** - **Getting There**: Take the MTR to Tai Po Market or Tai Wo, then the 64K bus to the Kadoorie Farm stop (20-25 minutes). Alternatively, a green taxi from Tai Wo is quicker. - **Shuttle Bus**: Buy shuttle bus tickets (HK$30/adult, HK$15/child) at the entrance to avoid the steep uphill walk, especially with kids or elderly visitors. - **Best Time to Visit**: Go between November and February for cooler weather (16-20°C) to enjoy the trails and gardens comfortably. Avoid hot, humid months like August. - **Itinerary Suggestion**: Start with the shuttle to Stop 4 (Kadoorie Brothers Memorial Haven), explore the Sky Trail (45-60 minutes) to T.S. Woo Memorial Haven, then take the Enkianthus Walk and cobbled path back down (60-90 minutes). - **What to Bring**: Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, and pack a light snack, as food options are limited to the cafe at the entrance. - **Tips for Families**: Most paths are stroller-friendly, and kids love the animal enclosures, like the Parrot Sanctuary..
