Kadoorie Farm and Botanical Garden

Admission fee 10 dollars. Site map 5 dollars.

These botanical gardens support local farming and agriculture initiatives. Founded in 1956, the park's main goals are to assist poor farmers in becoming self-sustaining and to conserve biodiversity.

Nature Fun Day (1st Sunday of each month) is a great time to vist KFBG with your friends and family

Go to farm shop and buy: free range fresh eggs, potter plants, freshly harvested vegetables.

Nice and peaceful place

Kadoorie Farm is out in the New Territories and can be reached by catching the 64K bus from Tai Po Market.The best way to see the farm if you are not very fit is to catch the shuttle bus. The bus costs $10 and the entrance fee is $30 for adults. The bus stops at various places for 10mins at a time for you to explore and takes around 1hr 30mins in total.I decided to get off at the top and walk down. I also did the Sky Trail which gives you some amazing panoramic views of the New Territories. The path is uneven and at times not very clearly defined and has a few steep hills climbs as well as steep steps so it's not advisable for the less abled bodied. I then carried onto the Kwun Yum Shan summit where there is a Guan Yin or Goddess of Mercy statue.The walk down can also be a bit taxing but there are various trails and places with toilets to stop on the way down. There is a wide range of flora and fauna on the way down.In the lower part there is a farm with various animals and reptiles you can see including a chicken farm and pigs.Unfortunately I can't really recommend the organic cafe though I would recommend the farm shop even though it's not particularly big.I found the food in the organic cafe a bit overpriced, however the main issue was the poor taste of the food. The potato wedges were slightly undercooked and the vegetable omelette bland. I've had some spectacular vegetarian dishes in Hong Kong and it's a shame really that the food is a letdown. Though the iced coffee was of good quality and strength.Overall I had a great time at Kadoorie Farm and Botanical GardensIs it a must see attraction? Yes if you want to do something slightly off the beaten track and have the time.

Take time to walk around a quality little area.Showing birds, reptiles, monkeys and a clean lovely area over the road from Victoria Peak ticket office.

The entrance fee was less than $20 per head. I am not complaining! Parking was a pain in the butt on weekends though. Public buses are available.The farm is basically a government-run zoo IMHO. Organic food is available for purchases.If you were a tourist who will spend more than 7 days in HK, this is an option. If you will only be in HK for 2 to 3 days, this shouldn't be on the top of your "to go" list.
