HKIA Cherry blossom Garden It is accessible by taking S1 bus at the MTR Station “A” Exit and get off at the first stop. Alternatively by walking taking Exit “A” towards the Ngon Ping 360 Cable car terminal then straight ahead to the Chep Lap Kok South Road. Total distance about 1.5 Km. It is better to use bus because the road to road connections are not clear cut. Anyway during holidays the walking crowd can slow you down. It has many cherry blossom trees in a large site with very scenic views such as seeing the Tung Chun Bay, Cable car running to the Ngon Ping Big Buddha.

Read moreGreat effort by the authorities with a total of about 80 to 100 cherry blossom/Sakura trees…there is a basic toilet and across the road, there is a shop in the gasoline stand for water and basic snacks. Still a bit chaotic so not a great fit for people with young kids in baby cars but absolutely a true hit in the area. I hope they can spend some money to make the surroundings more picnic-able with grass lawn to sit down, some more clean toilets and a shop nearby with basic...
