Hong Kong Park in Central: Barracks Heritage and an Aviary

Hong Kong Park sits on Cotton Tree Drive in Central and covers 8.16 hectares on the former Victoria Barracks site. It keeps several military heritage buildings from 1842 to 1910: the former Commander-in-Chief's House, listed as a monument in 1989 and now the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware; Rawlinson House, now the park office and Cotton Tree Drive Marriage Registry; Wavell House, now an education centre; and Cassels Block, now the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre. Reports also mention the Edward Youde Aviary. You could pair the museum and the visual arts centre in one visit; check opening information before you go.

Editor’s noteA handy Central stop for a walk and some heritage; check official notices for opening arrangements.
