Yuan Pu Street Bird Park X Moon Park

Yuan Pu Street Bird Park aka The Hong Kong Bird Market is a small lane highly entertaining for kids. In the chinese culture, birds are kept as pets; where you see old men holding their cages, taking their bird for “walks”, showing off their birds singing skills. The market stands are full of birds, a varieties of them; hand crafted bamboo cages; peculiar bird food like live crickets and worms.

It’s one of our after school activity - exploring Hong Kong; be it playground, park, hiking trails, outlying islands, local spots or pop up events.

Covid-19 wasn’t a around when we went to Bird Park and Moon Park. It was a Friday, after kids nursery and kindergarten classes. We meet up at the entrance after lunch, kids were excited as always. There are many types of birds, from the cute canaries to talking parrots, common sparrows and lots of pigeons around. After Bird Park, we walked across the street, took a bus and to Moon Park.

Moon Park aka King’s Park located at Ho Man Tin, 10 mins walk from Yau Ma Tei MTR station. First obvious “item” making it a moon park is the moon surface like rocks at the entrance of the park. It does provide a good spot for pictures. Kids love climbing and jumping on “holes” of moon surface. Right next to it is a stone slides which kids enjoys. And of course, down the corner is the classic playground with slides, climbers and merry go a-round.

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors. However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep; 1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses 2. Stock up your backpack. Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience. Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too. Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories. The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
