HONG KONG PARK, Presentation

Hi, my name’s Marcy, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: Hong Kong Park.

From the beginning of the colonial period, the lively Central District was occupied by British military barracks. It was not until the late 1970s that part of the area was turned into a park, which was officially opened in 1991.

As you visit the park, you’ll realize just how incredibly peaceful it is. Inside, and in the immediate surroundings, you can admire buildings in a variety of architectural styles built between 1842 and 1910 and now home to museums and offices.

One of the most interesting is Flagstaff House, home to the Museum of Tea Ware, where you can see collections of fine porcelain and tea services dating to different periods between the 11th and the 20th centuries.

In addition to being a fascinating museum, Flagstaff House is a delightful mansion, surrounded by elegant porticoes supported by columns in a style reminiscent of Ancient Greece....
