Hong Kong’s Free Zoo in the Middle of the City!

#citypassguide

Nestled right in Central’s skyscraper jungle, the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens is a pocket of wild calm that won’t cost a dime. Perfect for budget explorers in one of the world’s priciest cities!

🌆 Why it’s cool:

- Surrounded by skyscrapers but feels like a mini Amazon .
- Split into East (birds, gardens) and West (monkeys, reptiles) — connected by a cute “Time Tunnel” .
- 500+ animal pals: Flamingos, cheeky monkeys, rare orangutans, and even sleepy sloths .
- Over 1,000 plants — from tropical palms to medicinal herbs — making it a lush escape.

💸 Free perks? Yes!

- $0 entry, $0 smiles from the animals .
- Chill on lawns, picnic under trees, or join free guided talks .
- Escape the shopping crowds — breathe instead of spend 😌.

📍 Quick info:
- Open daily 6am-7pm (some sections close earlier) .
- MTR to Central, then a 10-min walk uphill.

Ideal for: Quick nature hits, curious kids, or just avoiding your wallet’s tears. A tiny jungle with giant charm! ✨
