What travelers are saying
- burghughesGreendale, WI952 contributionsFor Americans this place is not comparable to SeaWorld but more like the good Aquariums you might find in Gatlinburg and Newport/Cincinnati. I thought the admission price of about $16 was a little high for the Philippines but still a bargain compared to US prices. My last visit was 2016 and it has definitely improved since then
It’s easy to spend a couple of hours here. There are numerous great displays as you go through the different sections. Kids I saw were having a wonderful time and adults young and old seemed to enjoy as well.
Most everything you want to see is on the first floor. The second makes you walk through long corridors to get to a small display of penguins followed by a “Christmas Village” that is nothing other than a place for photo ops. You can save some time and just skip floor 2.Written January 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The garden was quite large with well manicured gardens, wooden buildings, unusual rock formations, and a large lake. This was a great open space and not fully surrounded by high rise apartments so it felt calm and inviting.
It was a short walk from the Diamond Hill MRT station. Exit C2.
We visited two buildings that were exhibiting ceramics (paid admission) and building techniques (no nails). The second one was definitely worth visiting to see the models. A souvenir shop, restaurant and tea house also on site for shopping and eating.
Luckily we finished and headed over to the Nunnery as a large bus load of tourists entered.Written March 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Intending to make it a long-term base after two years of sea movements, the Sung command built about 30 palace buildings on the island.Written November 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CMelbourne, Australia682 contributionsWe found this Monastery complex very beautiful with the incense burners, flower displays, numerous, often multi-story, buildings with highly ornate carvings and carp pools in carefully cultivated gardens. There is a mixture of older and newer buildings but it is difficult to tell the difference. The Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) is an extension of the Monastery but since it was very foggy on the day we visited it was easier to admire the Monastery. There is a pathway lined with statues of warrior gods leading to the Po Lin Monastery from the central point that also leads to the stairs of the Big Buddha. It is possible to view the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas when it is not used for worship but no photos are allowed.
When my friend was here last time she said there were lots of cows. We saw no cows this time but lots of dogs with signs to beware of them. We didn't eat at the vegetarian restaurant there but they sell tickets for the food at the gate or you can eat in Ngong Ping Village. We arrived via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car and afterwards we took the bus from the Ngong Ping village down to the Tai O village before using another bus and ferry to return to Hong Kong. If you come to see the Big Buddha it would be a shame to miss this charming monastery.Written February 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The lifestyle here looks very different from the city’s hustle and bustle: relaxed, laid back, easy going. And it’s a very beautiful island with lots of hiking trails with amazing views, nice beaches, delicious food and friendly locals. No cars, just VVs (village vehicles) rustling about and carrying goods. We took a trail from Yung Shue Wan to Sok Kwu Wan fishing village on the other side climbing up for rewarding views and returning along the family path. In Sok Kwu Wan had a delicious lunch. The ferry service is very convenient, only 25 minutes to Central, very enjoyable. There are many expats living on this island, you can hear different languages spoken while wandering about. And the food options you get here range widely from very local Chinese, Indian, Malay, Mexican etc to having quite traditional English or American breakfast at Banyan cafe.Written December 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Megan_LimSingapore, Singapore16 contributionsA quick ferry ride to Cheung Chau Island and off we went on a half-island hike. It was an easy hike with lovely views of the sea and surrounding. There are many seafood places near the pier which offer reasonable prices and fresh, fresh seafood ! Worth spending half a day here - quite a difference from the hustle and bustle of busy Kowloon.Written February 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John N9 contributionsSet your alarm on “early” and visit the park around 8am and listen to the silence of the city and with a little luck you see everywhere people practicing Tai Chi ……it makes your Hong Kong-visit more special!!Written January 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradJillHong Kong, China154,883 contributionsThe Beach at Repulse Bay is probably one of the best we have in Hong Kong in terms of beach size, sand quality, access to public transportation and area restaurants and shopping. This is a nearly 300 metre long stretch of seaside nuzzled up against the southern shores of Hong Kong Island. It is one of a series of beaches including Deep Water Bay Beach (to the northwest), Middle Bay Beach and South Bay Beach (to the southeast) and by far the most interesting.
You can visit Repulse Bay beach by public bus or taxi or by foot walking the Seaview Promenade from Deep Water Bay. You'll find promenade and pier areas on both ends of the beach with park benches. Alongside the beach there is a shopping arcade called the pulse, where there are a handful of alfresco restaurants, coffee shop, ice-cream as well as s sports gear and other retailers.
The beach itself is pretty good. In addition to the nice sand quality, there are several rows of trees towards the back of the beach providing a bit of shade on sunny days. You'll find expected range of facilities including public toilets, changing stations and life guard stations, BBQ pits (unavailable during the pandemic). Swimming is good at Repulse Bay Beach with normal sea conditions and views are nice with favourable visibility.
Do note that Repulse Bay Beach can be very crowded during warmer weather weekends and public holidays during non-pandemic times. As such, you may find it more favourable to opt for a second beach like nearby Deep Water Bay Beach if there are too many people here. Otherwise, this is a very good beach to spend time with friends or family on Hong Kong Island.Written January 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is an attractive park centred around the site of the 19th-century Qing Dynasty fort which became the infamous Kowloon Walled City in the 20th century. The park is a tranquil place to enjoy beautiful gardens while learning important local history at the same time.
Historically, this is the location where fortifications were built in the early 19th-century to house Qing Dynasty forces in response to the arrival of the British. After WWII, an 'anything goes' city sprung up within the old fort grounds. It became known as the Kowloon Walled City, which was up to 16 stories of tightly packed illegal structures of residents and small businesses. The walled city was demolished by the HK authorities in the early 1990s and the grounds were then converted into the city park that you can visit and enjoy today.
Much of the park is designed as a Jingnan style garden and includes lovely pavilions, traditional walls, moon gate entrance courtyards surrounded by attractive landscaping, very tall trees, ponds, waterfall and streams. Other sections of the park are of more modern layout with grassy areas near to the Kowloon City Plaza Mall for seating as well as sporting and leisure grounds at the Carpenter Road Park area.
For fans of history and architecture, the historic Yamen (Alm's House) building is well worth spending time while visiting the Kowloon Walled City. This is an original structure from the old Qing Dynasty Fort that survived the days of the Walled City and remains as a reminder of both important periods of history for visitors today. You'll see exhibition panels and models of the 19th century fort and 20th century Walled City. In the back there are six rooms with visual exhibits as well. Just outside the Yamen building, you can also see relics discovered during excavations, including the famous Remnants of the South Gate.
Note: The Sung Wong Toi MTR Station (Tuen Ma line) opened a couple years ago. From Exit B1 & B2, you are 5 minute walk to the park. Alternatively, you can use the Lok Fu MTR Station (Kwun Tong line) which is a 12-15 minute walk from the park.Written April 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was built upon the reclaimed grounds of the old typhoon shelter in the 1950s and given a major make-over in the early 2000s. These days, it serves as an important leisure and recreation grounds throughout the year as well as a venue location for major events including an annual Flower Market for Chinese New Year.
Victoria Park is laid out with tennis courts, basketball courts, swimming pool, running paths and tree lined walkways with flower beds. There are artificial pools for remote control boats, large fountain on the west end of the park as well as a statue of Queen Victoria on the southern entrance to the park.
You can reach Victoria Park by way of Ding Ding when it runs along Causeway Road or by way of MTR, closest station being Tain Hau Station just northeast of the park.Written March 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The birds were interesting, especially the flamingos, and their exhibits looked relatively nice. The primate exhibit on the other side of the road however, was a little depressing as the enclosures were pretty small, even for the smaller animals. So the zoo part we’d rate a 2.5. Where the gardens is a 5. Orchids upon orchids and other plants like bromeliads done very nicely. The glass house was pretty basic, not sure why more effort isn’t put into it, but the outdoor areas were lovely.Written December 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VickyLargsLargs, UK87 contributionsWe got to Shek O village by bus after making the Dragon Back trail. We didn’t regret the decision as it was nice to relax with a drink in Cococobana enjoying nice views of the beach and then wander the streets of the village with colourful houses. The beach is well maintained with all the facilities - you can imagine it can be crowded on warmer days and weekends but this time it was almost empty and serene. Would recommend this combo on your day out: Dragon Back trail and Shek O beach.Written December 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
