This has to be one of the greatest green spots in Hong Kong. I have been there three or four times and every time I fall in love more and more with it. The fact that you have to go up to the Peak and then hike up to this point explains why it's never too busy. You have to plan (for transport and food) in advance but in return you get stunning views of Victoria Harbor and the city from the pavilion at the top. A sunset in a clear day up there it's pure bliss, especially if you've been hiking for a while and this is at the end of your route, as a couple of us did a few months ago, on my first visit to Victoria Peak. We then went down to the actual gardens and walked around and continued to the mall. But as I walked past, I decided I was coming back for a day there, to chill out, read, play with the dogs (they are allowed there) and soak in some sun.
And so we did, on a bright sunny day, not too warm though. We had packed our lunches and books and we spent the day there until the sun set. We went down to that smaller patch with the three pavilions and a few scattered benches and picked one for the two of us. And all we did was sitting there, chatting, eating and even snoozing at times. There was a couple getting their wedding pictures done and a lot of dogs, which made it look like a proper park-y stamp. We didn't wait until the sunset, as if was getting cold and decided to make a move, but it's worth staying and getting up to the pavilion to admire amazing Hong Kong from atop!
