Established in the early 1950s, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Gardens is a vast green sanctuary set on one of Hong Kong’s highest peaks (Kwun Yum Shan) and gives the opportunity to see some of the region’s fantastic flora and fauna. The project was set up by the wealthy Jewish brothers, Horace and Lawrence Kadoorie, with the aim of promoting self-reliance and sustainable agriculture in the dwindling local farming community. All visitors must call in advance to arrange a visit. Guided tours of the park run with a minimum of 20 people or you can join the tourist office’s Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden Experience Tour on Mondays. To get here without a tour, take the KCR to TaiWo and then a 20- minute bus ride on route #64K to the park.
