Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden

Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden 嘉道理農場暨植物園 
www.kfbg.org is
in Tai Po of the New Territories. In the farm, various plants, flowers
and trees, animals, poultry, fish, waterfall, pavilions, and signposts
can be found.  Apart from being a destination to spend a day or an
afternoon, it is also a place for conservation projects. 

It is
quite convenient to get to Kadoorie Farm by public transport. Its
opening hours is 09:30 - 17:00. There is a cafe serving vegetarian food,
snacks and drinks. A farm shop sells souvenirs and small plants near
the main entrance.





This owl is very clever. It seems that we are in the zoo from his eyes.





Please look at his eyes. There are more birds in nearby cages.








To get off at Kadoorie Farm terminus by Route no. 64K from Tai Po Market Terminal.





From this staircase to the Main Entrance. We can see farming on terraces.





Admission fee is HK$10, this will be used to fund conservation projects. 
FYI, free shuttle bus is available.





Basically this
is the hiking route in Kadoorie Farm. The farm is in fact on a steep
hill. If you would like to visit every part of the farm, it is better to
spend one whole day.

Lotus pond is very small in fact.





The entire route is on restricted vehicular access.





Some are even
steeper than this. We notice a lady of early thirty walk barefoot on
this road, with a pair of 5-inches high heel on her hand.





Every part of the farm has been taken care of.





Cactus greenhouse





Orchids of different colours are available.





An unknown fruit is like a sea-urchin.




This should be a planting event.




Signpost corner is nearly at the top of the hill.




This
is an interesting post. Apart from the places visited in the above
photos, we do not have enough time since we visit in the afternoon. We
should have missed a lot of other interesting things, plants and
aninmals. This is a valuable and leisure visit to Kadoorie Farm. You
should also spend one day to experience.
