Kowloon Park

22.29981 , 114.17036

Hong Kong

Kowloon park is a large urban park in the busy Tsimshatsui district on the Kowloon peninsula. There are several ponds and areas of dense trees as well as exotic vegetation. The park also has an ornamental lake and an aviary with various exotic species which have given rise to feral populations, notably of parakeets.

For such an urban location the park hosts a variety of resident and visiting birds. Over 180 species have been recorded, though this reflects how intensively the site is watched as much as its intrinsic biodiversity.  Passage migrants include uncommon species such as flycatchers, shrikes and even the occasional pitta.

The park is convenient for a quick visit. Visitors staying briefly in the Tsimshatsui district or Tsimshatsui East, for example, can expect to see a range of local species. And as the ever-reliable local guide David Diskin puts it, "the keen-eyed naturalist will usually come across something of interest".

  • Timing and strategy

Like Hong Kong in general the park is most rewarding between September and May, though in summer there will still be some resident birds of interest to visitors. Thrushes and leaf warblers may be seen in winter, shrikes and flycatchers in spring.

The park is very crowded with visitors at weekends so a weekday or early morning is best. The resident birds however are used to crowds and can still be seen at busy times.

Around an hour will suffice to explore the park on foot. Hotspots include the Bird Lake and the trees along the southern periphery, where Red-billed and White-shouldered Starlings can often be seen.

The Hong Kong Birdwatching Society conducts regular tours of the park on Friday mornings to provide an introduction to the birds of Hong Kong.

Give recommendations for making your visit as productive as possible.
This may include for instance:
• best season
• best time of the day
• how much time to spend at the site
• best means of locomotion within the site
• recommended routes / areas within the site
• guiding

  • How to get there

The park is easily accessed from the MTR (Tsimshatsui station, exit A1). Alternatively, numerous buses heading from Kowloon to the Star Ferry stop close to the entrances on Nathan Road (alight at the Cameron Road stop).

From Hong Kong Island, one can take the Star Ferry to Tsimshatsui and it will then be a short walk (10-15 minutes) to the park via Nathan Road or Canton Road and Haiphong Road. Parking is not so easy but one can park opposite the park at The One shopping mall on Granville Road, or park at the Ocean Terminal mall and walk to the park via China Hong Kong City.

Cycling cannot be recommended due to heavy traffic in the area.

Explain from where and how to get to this site with private and public transport.

  • Other attractions

In addition to wild and feral birds, the ornamental lake and aviary offer some exotic species. Greater Flamingos breed successfully at the lake. There are also Lesser Flamingos, Coscoroba Swans and even a Hawaiian Goose (Nene) or two. The aviary specialises in parrots and pigeons, notably the Nicobar Pigeon (a more interesting aviary is the walk-in one in Hong Kong Park on Hong Kong Island). Pallas' Squirrel is a common species, introduced from Southeast Asia.

For non-birding companions the area is a shopping paradise, including Nathan Road, Mody Road and the Ocean Terminal/Gateway complex to the west. The Cultural Centre and various museums are also close by.

Add information about other attractions at this site, including
• wildlife (apart from birds)
• sights (natural, cultural, archaeological, etc.)
• activities (e.g. for non-birding companions)
