[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Island House Conservation Studies Centre (Updated Jun)

I took part in a guided tour for more than two hours on a hot afternoon. I visited this former Chief Secretary's residence, which is located on the coast of Tolo Harbour and has a history of more than a hundred years. The architecture here has a strong retro British style. I didn't expect the house to be much simpler than I imagined. The sea view of Tolo Harbour, the occasional egrets flying by, and the large garden outside the house are the treasures. When you are in it, you can imagine the scene of the former owner living here! The entire guided tour was very informative. First, we introduced the development history of Yuanzhouzi. We admired the architecture of the official residence and visited the interior to learn about the life of the former owner. Then we introduced the various plants in the English garden and their origins. We then walked to the coastline and mangroves of Yuanzhouzi to look for traces of marine life. It was a journey that satisfied both the eyes and the brain! #GlobalTravel #HongKongGoodDestinations

The little white heron came for the first time after the renovation. It was completely different. There are two restaurants that are beautifully decorated and have many photo spots. One eats Western food, the other eats Chinese food. Today I chose to eat dim sum, the restaurant is very large and lucky to sit by the window, you can look at the lake view, while enjoying the lake view while eating dim sum😍 ▶️ Golden Heron Lake Shrimp Dumplings $78 There are gold foil shrimp dumplings on the surface, which are crystal clear. The shrimp is crispy and big enough! Delicious😋 ▶️ Melted Quail Egg Siu Mai $78 This is very special. There are quail eggs in the siu-mai, and they are still melted when you bite them ▶️ Ancient pepper cake $62 There are three pieces, the pepper cake is crispy, with sesame seeds on the surface, made fluffy and beautiful, the filling is peppery enough! ▶️ Crispy Fresh Shrimp Red Rice Sausage $78 The red rice sausage has a beautiful pink color, and the sausage is wrapped with fried shrimp. Even if you eat some other dim sum and eat it again, it's still very crispy! ▶️ Bacon Mushroom Layer Cake $38/piece The bacon is quite good, and the bottom layer of layer cake has many layers of good, crispy! The service here is excellent and the environment is great. You can really enjoy an afternoon with some dim sum. There are many photo spots outside here to take pictures. It's so rocky outside and there's also a tulip garden. It's really good to come here on holiday!

Listen to the whispers of the wind and go where your heart desires~ If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city during your holiday and want to find a quiet place to relax by the sea, this is the perfect spot for you. Here, you can also experience a timeless summer romance. This seaside cottage is a traditional colonial-era building. ⛪ Its pure white English classical architecture is accented with red bricks 🧱 and features cement faux-wood latticework as exterior wall decorations. 🕰 The vintage charm makes it feel like a little slice of Europe in Hong Kong. Every corner is picture-perfect 📷. The building has two floors. 🖼 On the second floor, there is a row of large rectangular windows offering a 270-degree panoramic view of the Tolo Harbour 🌊. The expansive sea view, where the water meets the sky, is absolutely breathtaking 😭. The first-floor corridor is also a great spot for photos. 🌳 Surrounded by an English-style garden and a large lawn, it offers coastal scenery and garden views 💐. Sitting on a bench here, I could easily spend the whole day~ ⚠️ Note: There are quite a few mosquitoes 🦟, so remember to bring insect repellent.

🇭🇰 Hidden Gems in Hong Kong｜A Century-Old British Heritage Site 🏚️ 🌊 Along the shores of Tai Po, a pristine white British-style mansion stands quietly, surrounded by the sea on three sides and lush greenery on the other. Every window frames a view as picturesque as an oil painting! 🏚️ Built in the early 20th century, this mansion blends Eastern and Western aesthetics, making it a quintessential example of colonial architecture. The most striking feature is the rooftop lighthouse, which once guided ships navigating Tolo Harbour 🚢. Since 1947, it served as the residence of the Secretary for Home Affairs, and in 1986, it was designated as a statutory monument. Later, it was transformed into the WWF Yuen Chau Tsai Nature Conservation Study Center, promoting conservation and sustainable living through various educational activities ♻️. 🌳 Step into the park, and you’ll catch glimpses of graceful egrets gliding across the sky while marveling at over 140 plant species. The air is filled with the refreshing aroma of plants, offering a serene escape. Highlights include the 50-year-old Michelia tree, rare Hoya plants, vibrant red lotus flowers (also known as "King of Bells"), and the Fujian ladder fern—an impressive collection of rare flora! 🌟 Yuen Chau Tsai Nature Conservation Study Center 🚌 Transportation: Take the K18 bus from Tai Po Market MTR Station to Kwong Fuk Estate 📧 Friendly Reminder: Advance booking is required
