The Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens are on the northern slopes of Victoria Peak and provide a soothing break from the city below. The extensive gardens were originally built in 1871 and are divided by Albany Road with an underground walkway joining the two sections. In the park you’ll find over 1,000 different plant species on show. The park is also home to a number of animals and birds, including orangutans, monkeys, a tree kangaroo and pink flamingos – whose sounds are very welcoming after the noise of car horns downtown.
