[4K] Walking Victoria Park, Hong Kong

March 2021
It's a gloomy Sunday in Hong Kong but I took a walk through Victoria Park, a fantastic space that connects Causeway Bay on the west to Tin Hau and out to Fortress Hill on the east.
The park was built on reclaimed land in the 1950s (what is the park today used to be the typhoon shelter) -- and got a big makeover about 20 years ago.
Given this was a Sunday, many of the city's domestic helpers were on their day off, and plenty were in the park to catch up with friends. Given domestic helpers generally live with their employers, a day off means getting out of the house instead of putting your feet up at home. And given how little free space there is in downtown HK, it's all the more important that we have Victoria Park.
