A Poets View

During my last trip to Hong Kong in March of this year I decided to stay on Hong Kong Island rather than Kowloon so I could get a taste of that area.  When I saw that Hong Kong had a botanical garden I was thrilled.  So, I chose a hotel near the garden.  I was able to walk only one block from my hotel to the gardens and did so each morning.  This stay I was lucky enough to encounter beautiful weather the entire week.  I began my day by walking through the gardens over to the SoHo area of the island each morning.  I saw the same people everyday and they were so nice and friendly.  Everyone walks and does Tai Chi in the park daily for their exercise routines.  The above photo I took during one of those walks and was one of the many gardens which reside there.  There are hundreds of various plant and animal species as the garden is also their zoo.  There are many different, unique and exotic birds living there.  They love birds in Hong Kong as do I.  There are also tigers, monkeys and a Burmese python which scared the “you know what” out of me.  There is also a playground, a fountain, a pond and many other amenities for their visitors.  I loved the gardens and will hopefully go back soon.  You can find more info and pics be visiting my Hong Kong website at http://joshongkong.tripod.com
