Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

#hkonbudget Hike for Free Views, Skip the Shuttle Fee! ⛰️ Yes, Kadoorie Farm has a shuttle bus to the upper areas (HK$30/adult), but the ultimate #hkonbudget strategy is to hike the trails! The self-guided Woodland Trail and Sky Trail are completely free and offer spectacular, panoramic views of the New Territories and even Shenzhen on a clear day. Pack a picnic to save money at the café, wear good shoes, and conquer the ascent for a rewarding, all-day adventure at minimal cost. #hkonbudget #freehiking #kadooriefarm #skytrail #hkspectacular

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..
