Tamar Park

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:44:38

This harbour-front park on the site of the New Central Government Offices (新政府總部) is an inviting sprawl of verdant lawns where you can soak up the rays while watching the ships go by. It’s part of a 4km promenade along the northern shoreline of Hong Kong Island, from Central Piers, outside the IFC mall, past Wan Chai, all the way to North Point. Concerts and other cultural activities are sometimes held here.

The HMS Tamar was a British naval vessel moored in Victoria Harbour that served as the operational headquarters of the Royal Navy until 1946. The New Central Government Offices comprise the headquarters of the HKSAR government, the legislature and the Chief Executive's Office.
