The mere mention of Hong Kong, one of China’s special administrative districts, brings to mind images of a grand city, its skyline dotted with skyscrapers whose lights illuminate the night sky. Hong Kong’s importance as business centre in Asia stemming from the rapid economic development it witnessed in the past fifty years has also ensured its status as a major global financial centre. Hence, life in this city is fast paced and quick and often, those travelling to the city do not have the opportunity to experience the city. Hence, especially for those visiting the city on business, the Hong Kong Flower Show would prove to be a welcome change of pace.

Conducted from the 15th to the 24th of March this year, the Flower Show will be held at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, this exhibition is planned with the purpose of increasing the awareness of greening as well as promoting horticulture and features the Dendrobium as the theme flower. The Show will feature a myriad of floral varieties in an abundance of colours as well as professionally landscaped exhibits by organisations from Hong Kong itself as well as abroad. In addition, for those who wish to take back with them a little slice of this colourful haven, stalls have been allocated for the particular purpose of selling potted plants and flowers.

This floral exhibition is not limited to those who have an interest in horticulture. Anyone who wishes to take a break from the hectic pace of life will find a peaceful and relaxing haven among these beautiful flora and plant life. A number of activities both recreational and educational in purpose have been organised to keep children and adults entertained. Drawing competition, music and games will keep your children occupied while you explore and enjoy guided tours, cultural performances and green stalls. The entrance fee is priced at $14 while the fee for children and senior citizens is much less and thus for families staying in Hotel in Jordan Hong Kong, this floral extravaganza would be an enjoyable excursion.

Making your way to Victoria Park from your Hong Kong Kowloon Hotel is extremely easy for it is conveniently accessible by the Causeway Bay Station. If you are staying at a prestigious venue such as Eaton Hotel Hong Kong, you have the added benefit of enjoying seasonal discounts and special packages for guests as well.
