Kadoorie Farm & Botanical Garden 嘉道理農場暨植物園

If you are looking for a place to get away from the hussle and bustle of the city with your family - this is great. The Kadoorie Farm and Botanical Gardens is located in the centre of the New Territories. Set up in 1951, the Kadoorie Farm and Botanical Gardens has several scenic sights and natural formations to take your breath away. The entire place is a living legacy of the Kadoorie brothers.

To make it on foot is the best yet also the most difficult option due to it being a 148 hectare farm. The other option of transport within the premises is the shuttle bus that takes you from the Farm Produce Sales Counter and tours around the farm, stopping at significant attractions.

You can buy organically grown vegetables and fruits and potted plants from a souvenir shop within the premises called the Farm Shop too.

This is one of the greatest places for a family outing here in Hong Kong. Young children get an opportunity to observe and learn about nature and animals at an early age. On top of that they get to run around in an outdoor environment to spend their abundant energy. You can be sure that they will be sleeping tight that very evening.
