You Won’t Believe This Is in Hong Kong: A Stunning Tulip Garden at Lake Egret Nature Park
#cityplaybook
When people think of Hong Kong, they often picture towering skyscrapers, neon-lit streets, and fast-paced city life. But hidden in the quiet district of Tai Po lies a magical surprise that feels straight out of Europe: a blooming tulip garden that bursts with color every spring.
Yes, you read that right—a tulip garden in Hong Kong.
Each year, from mid-January to late February, the Tulip Symphony at Lake Egret Nature Park turns this peaceful retreat into a floral wonderland. Thousands of tulips in every shade imaginable—red, yellow, pink, purple—sway gently in the breeze, lining walking paths and inviting visitors to stop, breathe, and admire nature’s artistry.
Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and calm waters, the garden offers the kind of tranquility that makes you forget you're still in one of the busiest cities in the world. It’s a favorite for photographers, families, couples, and anyone craving a quiet escape.
How to Get There:
Take the East Rail Line to Tai Po Market Station (Exit A3).
From there, hop on green minibus 28K, which drops you off right at the park entrance.
Opening Hours:
Daily from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM (last admission at 5:15 PM).
Entry is just HK$20—a small price for a stroll through such natural beauty.
And if you're hungry after your walk, the Lake House Café nearby offers tasty meals with a view of the garden—making it the perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon.
Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the tulip garden at Lake Egret is a reminder that Hong Kong isn’t just about steel and glass. Sometimes, it’s also about tulips, peace, and a place that feels like another world.
You truly wouldn’t believe this is in Hong Kong—until you see it for yourself.#travel #hongkong #thingstodo
