Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden

Established in 1956 as a base for the Kadoorie Agricultural Aid Association (K.A.A.A.), the KFBG site near Lam Tsuen, Tai Po, is one of Hong Kong's little known jewels. Nine kilometres of road wind their way up around organic farming terraces, botanic gardens and native forest to the summit of the mountain, Kwun Yum Shan, at over 1800ft above sea level. A wide variety of educational displays, sustainability features and wildlife rescue facilities complement the extensively landscaped gardens with their cobbled paths, pavilions, bridges, waterfalls and picnic spots.
KFBG's three core programmes - Nature Conservation, Holistic Education and Sustainable Living - are constantly evolving as they address different aspects of the challenge to live in harmony with nature. In addition to the many on-site courses, workshops and special events that have been developed for the education and upliftment of visitors, KFBG's activities extend throughout Hong Kong and into South China and other parts of the region.
KFBG is open from 09:30 - 1700. Please note that entry is not permitted after 4:00 pm.
Entrance fee is $15-30

嘉道理農場暨植物園

坐落於大埔林村附近，是香港雋藏的瑰寶之一。始建於1956年，最初用作嘉道理農業輔助會的基地。園內建有九公里的道路，繞着山巒蜿蜒而上，經過有機農圃、植物園和本土樹林，就可以登上海拔1,800多呎的觀音山頂。這裡除了美不勝收的園林景致，也有各式各樣的教育展覽、永續特色及野生物種拯救設施，林間還有小石徑、亭台樓閣、雅緻小橋、清溪瀑布和風景怡人的野餐地點。
農場共有三大核心計劃：自然保育、多元整全教育及永續生活。為迎接各方面的挑戰，這些計劃不斷在改進和演變。我們在園內舉辦許多課程、工作坊及活動，希望藉此促進人類與大自然和諧共存，我們更致力推行外展活動，足跡遍及香港、華南及亞洲其他地區。
農場開放時間為上午 9 時 30 分至下午 5 時。請注意下午 4 時後，謝絕遊客入場。
入場費為$15 - 30
