6 BEST PICNIC SPOTS in Hong Kong | Best to Worst - we ranked them so you don't have to!
Published 2022-09-08
We (well I, Virginia) scoured the internet and consolidated all the best places to have a picnic in Hong Kong. I've narrowed it to these 6 spots and we went to them all (it took 3 days, you're welcome, y'all).
PLACES IN THE ORDER IN THE VIDEO:
1) INSPIRATION LAKE
It's a 1 km walk from Disneyland
FOOD STOPS: 7/11 at Inspiration Lake, or pick up food at Tsing Yi MTR station which is along the way if you're going by MTR
HOW TO GET THERE: MTR to Disneyland. Walk from there.
2) VICTORIA PEAK GARDENS
Hong Kong Island (it's the highest point on the Peak)
FOOD STOPS:
RIFLES:
The Peak Galleria, 118 Peak Rd, Central, Hong Kong
OR any of the numerous places on the Peak.
HOW TO GET THERE: The Peak Tram up. Then a taxi up to the Victoria Peak Gardens. Alternatively, you can get up to the peak using the #1 minibus or the various double decker buses (15 or X15). We like the minibus bc it's faster, but the double decker bus is more scenic, especially if you sit on the upper deck.
3) KAI TAK RUNWAY PARK
Kai Tak (old airport)
FOOD STOPS:
Grab food at Kowloon City or at where you catch the minibus (Kowloon Bay) or the bus (Kowloon City, Kwun Tong, or Kowloon Tong., etc).
HOW TO GET THERE:
There is a green minibus 86 that you catch from Kowloon Bay. Alternatively, you can catch a double decker bus from Kowloon City, Kwun Tong, Kowloon Tong, etc.)
4) SUN YET SEN MEMORIAL PARK
16 Eastern St N, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong
FOOD STOPS:
Lots of good food around Sai Ying Pun. Right across is a shop called Tuckshop by Social Life that has nice healthy rice and salad bowls (hipster IG ones). We got food from Donki in Central and took the tram over.
HOW TO GET THERE:
The tram works great or the MTR to Sai Ying Pun station.
5) JORDAN VALLEY PARK
No. 71, New Clear Water Bay Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon
FOOD STOPS:
We got off at Diamond Hill MTR and went to the Plaza Hollywood mall there to grab food at M&S.
HOW TO GET THERE:
We took the MTR to Diamond Hill and then took the 54S green minibus and got off at the Shun Lee Disciplined Service Quarters stop. Double decker buses from Choi Hung or Kwun Tong as well.
6) WEST KOWLOON CULTURAL DISTRICT
FOOD STOPS:
Elements Mall or right there.
HOW TO GET THERE:
You can walk from Elements or minibus.
THE TOP 3 PICNIC SPOTS are in the video. Here's the ranking of 4-worst
4) VICTORIA PEAK GARDENS - It's nice, and pretty close to civilisation.
5) KAI TAK RUNWAY PARK - The patch of grass is nice but it's not huge. The view is gorgeous but Sun Yet Sen Memorial park also has a sea view though this one you can see both the Hong Kong Island side and the Kowloon side.
6) INSPIRATION LAKE - It's nice, except, unless you were also going to Disneyland, I think it's way too far and out of the way for anything else.

6 BEST PICNIC SPOTS in Hong Kong | Best to Worst - we ranked them so you don't have to!. Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video Watched the video on Sep 9, 2022 very like. Thank you so much
-
I'd love to picnic with my family when I visit in Dec! Hopefully it won't be too cool by then :)
-
I'm sorry it's not related to the video, but I was wondering about your other videos about dai pa dong and cha chaan teng, is it common to eat with stranger at the same table? Because when I go to HK and China my dad sometimes seats me in the same table with strangers. Well it was quite crowded back then, is that common?
-
Thanks Virginia ! A lot of effort went into this episode. Hong Kong being sub tropical, it was interesting to see you wearing warm clothes in a couple scenes. Question - do pet owners in Hong Kong pick up after their furry child ?
-
hey :) thank you for this. do you know if we can picnic on the 0+3 measures?
-
As a person that resides in Florida… I understand the struggle of staying away from mosquitoes lol.
-
Pretty sure the reason you were dripping in sweat on the way to Victoria Peak Garden was due to that HUGE leather jacket you were wearing, V!!?!! 😳 It's not that "cold" yet in HK?! 🤔
