The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens (HKZBG) is one of the oldest zoological and botanical centres in the world, and the oldest park in Hong Kong.[1] Founded in 1864, its first stage was opened to the public in 1871.[2] It occupies an area of 5.6 hectares (14 acres)[citation needed] in Central,[3] on the northern slope of Victoria Peak.[4]
Similar to Hong Kong Park, Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens provides a natural environment and atmosphere. While physically smaller than Hong Kong Park it contains more plants, animals and facilities.
