[Good place for family] Kadoorie Farm ~ Enjoy flowers + see animals + Hong Kong Flower Show in Sham Shui Po District

[Parent-Child Good Place] Kadoorie Farm ~ Flower Viewing + Animals + Hong Kong Flower Exhibition in Sham Shui Po 23/2/2021 (Tuesday) Last week, Cadbury Farm opened again~ The farm is famous for its flower viewing, but it is reported that the #cherry blossoms are already in full bloom during the Lunar New Year and have passed the #flower viewing period . However hold the mindset to #seeflowers to look . We finished zooming in the morning and left at 10:40a.m . public transportation (Information from the farm website) Take the East Rail/Bus Alight at Tai Po Market or Tai Wo Station, transfer to bus 64K towards Yuen Long West, about 20-25 minutes to the top of a stretch of large ramp, get off at the bus stop in front of Cadogan Farm and Botanical Garden. Take the West Rail/Bus Get off at Jin Sham Lu Station and transfer to bus 64K towards Tai Po. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the top of a large ramp and get off at the bus stop at Cadbury Farm and Botanical Garden. Take the bus Take the 64K bus from Tai Po to Yuen Long West and get off at the bus stop at Cadbury Farm and Botanical Garden. Farm hours: 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. （ Visitor entry and in-park sightseeing bus services will cease from 3pm daily until further notice. ） Please pay attention to the details ： https://www.kfbg.org/tc/general-information Arriving around 11:30a.m., there were many people lining up outside the door to buy tickets. It showed that 423 people had entered, but last week only 500 people were limited, which was very tight ！ (But this week it has been changed to a maximum of 1000 people, so we recommend keeping an eye on the website for the latest arrangements before you go.) General visit Fee (HKD) 12 to 59 years $30 5 to 11 years $15 Free for those under 5, seniors 60 or older and eligible persons with disabilities Under 5 is free, so I only bought 1 adult ticket . Additionally, you can buy in-park sightseeing bus tickets at the ticket office. Because the farm is really big, I recommend purchasing. Sightseeing bus in the park Fee (HKD) 12 to 59 years $10 5 to 11 years $5 Free for those under 5, seniors 60 or older and eligible persons with disabilities But because we got there very late, we could only buy tickets for 2:40p.m., but at this time, we should be almost time to get home, so we didn't. Therefore it is recommended that if you want to visit, it is best to leave early D . There is a map on the display board at the door, you can take a picture first or ask the staff to get a physical route map. （ Note: Calls may not be received on the side of the mountain!!! This was the case more than 10 years ago ） First we went to the vegetarian restaurant near the door (in-house only, al fresco seating) and ordered the organic bean curd vegetable burger and organic mushroom corn toast. The bean curd vegetable burger is quite special, the tofu steak is very large, but relatively dry, so there is some greasiness. The mushroom corn toast had really less mushroom corn. (The above is purely personal opinion) Remember, whether you eat or not, be sure to go to the small zoo next to the restaurant to see the marmosets , very small and cute , I have to see my son again before he leaves . Afterwards, we visited the #Downmountain area. Some animals, such as reptiles or amphibians In an indoor exhibition, there are also some birds in large outdoor cages. You can also see the barking deer ,pig and Red Crane etc. It's #gardens Inside #check-in is a good option . There aren’t many flowers in the lower mountains, so we decided to #hike up the #uphills . Since the pandemic, we have been #bb hiking, 4 years old can walk well, so we walked up, but the ramp road no shade , very sunny It's hot , it was hard, and finally decided to turn back . But after going back down the hill, find a second way up the hill, which is a stairway and shaded by trees , so we try again . There were many passers-by along the road, indicating that my son was very good at walking faster than them and being so powerful . After about 20 minutes up the stairs, it was even down the ramp , the aunt who was traveling with us doubted whether we had gone wrong, but asked the oncoming uncle and stated that we were to move forward. Ok~ We continued walking and ended up walking to #FourPillarsOptimus , as far as I know is in the lower mountains , went around in a circle, and went up and down the mountain but couldn't get to the uphill area . Actually, there is a road up the hill next to Four Pillars Optimus Sky, but my son has been hiking for an hour , looking at the map, there is a stairway that goes directly down the hill. So decided to turn back again . On the way down I saw wild monkeys crawling around the edges of the trees . Actually, my son fell down while going up the mountain and rubbed his leg , so down the mountain wanted to take him to the medical room, but the kids certainly didn’t want to go, I said we went to the farm shop to buy food and go to the medical room. I was thinking of buying ice cream or ice cream , I really thought too much , is not available . But there are drinks Buy the same biscuit snacks . The concession shop also sells organic food from Taiwan, and the prices are reasonable. I bought a can of coconut water for 6 dollars, a box of brown rice cakes for 30 dollars. There are some tables and chairs near the farm entrance for sitting, and there are umbrellas, so you are not afraid of the sun . The brown rice cake is quite tasty, crispy and not too sweet, my son can't stop eating it. Finally, we went to the medical room to disinfect the wound and left. Afterword If you want to enjoy the cherry blossoms , may be disappointed. The locations of other flowers are not very concentrated, and they will not be everywhere like a flower show . It is highly recommended to purchase a sightseeing ticket, but you may need to leave earlier to get an earlier ticket. There are not many animals to see in the lower mountains, and they are often hidden and have to be captured to see. Children love watching marmosets at the small zoo next to the restaurant , very small and cute , I have to see my son again before he leaves . If you only want to enjoy the flowers, don't expect too much. However, the farm is committed to promoting conservation work, and it is worth coming to support it . On the way back, we passed by Lai Chi Kok Park in Mongkok and saw flowers in full bloom Also shown in the same scene District 18 Hong Kong Flower Show ~ Sham Shui Po District This year, due to the epidemic ~ the flower show will be held online, or you can also visit selected parks in District 18 with exquisite gardens, themed flower gardens and tulip gardens. The exhibition is near Exit D of Mong Kok MTR Station If you bring a stroller, (take the lift to the ground Mastercard Plaza before exiting the gate) you can exit at Exit C, then cross the road, enter the park, go left (ie towards Manhattan Hill, not the library direction) and go straight along the flat road. If you exit D (the junction of the West Rail and the Red Line), also go left (i.e. towards Manhattan Hill, not the direction of the library) and go straight along the flat road. #Parent-ChildActivities #HolidayGood Places #HongKongTravel #HongKongTravel #ILoveHongKong #ParentChildHiking #RelaxationGoodPlace #CadoorieFarm #FlowerSeeing #Animals #Free forUnder5YearsOld #Additional #18DistrictHongKongFlowerExhibition #Sham Shui Po #parents and children #hiking
