Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

It has a lot of biodiversity, both on either plants and animals. There are lots of plants like insect eating plants, water plants or fruit trees. It is on a hill, so there may be a bit of hiking, but it has a great view. There are parrots also.

Great place to connect with nature. As the world gets hotter and hotter due to Climate Change, this place offers such a peaceful and cool escape for those who work in the city center.

A truly stunning botanical garden, where the streams and waterfalls, the valley, and a diverse array of trees and plants blend together into one harmonious landscape. What an incredible legacy left by Sir Kadoorie and Lord Kadoorie! I participated in the meditation program "Walking in Peace 2025" here. We practiced various forms of meditations -- including sitting meditation, walking meditation, qigong, mindful eating. I enjoyed every part of the experience - strolling in silence along the beautiful paths beside the streams and waterfalls, meditating atop the hill at sunset, and ending the day with dessert on the rooftop after dinner. We even saw monkeys and a porcupine crossing the road on the way down the campus. My heartfelt thanks to Ven. Ngawang Tenzin, the dedicated staff, and all the wonderful participants for making this such a meaningful and enriching experience.

We came here in a big group and stayed mostly at the bottom part where the zoo is. It was a fun day out for the kids, seeing the flamingoes, turtles, eagles and muntjac deer. It was a really hot day, so we did not go up the mountain as we already worked up a sweat moving around foot hills. We found some relieve from the heat when we entered the heavily air-conditioned Art House. As we headed towards the exit, we paid the gift shop a visit and found a good range of cold canned drinks for sale at super-market prices (without the usual mark-up at tourist attractions). There are shuttle buses that would take people up the hill for some bush walking but that would be for another day!!

A lovely place to enjoy the rural area while the weather is still cool. There are two hiking routes to choose from: the longer one covers the upper, middle and lower part of the farm while the short one covers the lower area. Families with young kids are suggested to take the shuttle bus (tickets available at the entrance) to visit the stops for some sight seeing then hike from the middle area back to the entrance. *** For those who plan to drive there, it’s best to reserve parking online prior the visit or you may end up not having a parking spot and there’s no alternative parking available in the area.

What a beautiful place to spend the day! You can pay an additional fee for a bus ride to various spots in the hills and enjoy an approximate 90 minute hike down, taking in the spectacular views along the way. There’s an option to catch the bus along the route to return to the gardens, but if you want to ride the bus up again, you must pay at the front entrance. There’s so much to see and do, so be sure to scan the QR code at the entrance for a detailed map of the area. Perfect for all ages, and well worth the reasonable entrance fee. Spectacular!

Love it so much! Love the plants and animals. The happiness of being surrounded by trees is beyond what words can describe.

Fantastic farm and walking trails. Spent 4 hours in here today. $40 adult admissions and $20 for the bus ride. Reasonable price. Products in the shop were a little bit disappointing so did not buy anything. The food offer i the cafe looks deli but I did not try. In my opinion, signs for directions and introduction signage are not sufficient and there wasn’t a guide book/leaflet available either, what a shame! I definitely will come back for hiking to enjoy the scenery.

I love Kadoorie farm-- a beautifully maintained Botanic garden and working farm with stunning hiking trails. A great place to take kids on the weekend to learn about plants and animals, and for anyone else who enjoys the outdoors for miles of hiking trails winding through fruit orchards, orchids among other plants native to HK and Guangdong. Don't miss out on the pigs and garden centre (I should have picked up my herbs BEFORE they all sold out at 4pm). Needless to say, the $20 admission and journey to the New Territories is well worth it!
