SPD4459 Destination - Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park (孫中山紀念公園)

Hello ! First of all, let me show you a picture ! ! ! !


Awesome ! ! ! Bravo ! ! 一個字 超靚 !

Do you believe that if I told you this place is located in the urban area??

Today let me take you to visit a picturesque place. This is Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, which is located in Sai Ying Pun.

It faces to Victoria Harbour and you can see the night view of the harbour !

Grassland in the park 紀念公園的大草地



It is the only park in Hong Kong to be named for a Chinese historic figure, because Shue Yat sen lived in Central and Western District. 

The footprints of Sun Yat Sen was recorded on the ground in the park, because he lived in the district for a long period of time. He was a student of Queen's College and the University of Hong Kong. 








The most unbelieveable thing is I have ever seen a big piece of grassland was located in the crowded urban area ! ! ! It is a good place for having picnic and playing kite !! It is relaxing and you even can lay down on the grassland and look to the sky. 








How to get there?
You can take Citybus route 5B,1 
Get off at Des Voeux Road West, Centre Street bus stop
Turn left and walk along the footbridge 
It takes around 5 minutes

Actually there is a large puddle of reflecting the sky. This place becomes a famous place for taking photos. 


However, you can only go there after it rains, otherwise you can't find the puddle ! !

The Sunset

Moreover, the pier becomes a sunset spot. Since there is no any buildings blocked the views, you can enjoy the sunset view of 360 degree ! ! !


Although privately owned, the owner allows 24-hour access without setting any rules.



This area has a great view of the Victoria Harbour, and a nice sunset . People who hang out here usually are the neighbourhood, couples, families, dog lovers and youngsters. They love spending their time here.
