Tuen Mun Park

The park is built on reclaimed land and covers an overall area of around 12.5 hectares which includes 1500 trees and 100,000 shrubs of about 200 different species. It is the first major park in the New Territories and was built to make the New Town of Tuen Mun more attractive by giving its residents greenery in the middle of the urban areas. It was constructed in 3 phases with Phase I opening to the public in August 1985, Phase II in August 1988, and Phase III in February 1991. The park includes a Reptile House which is open free of charge. Moreover, there are artificial lakes. Around one of them, people assembled in 2020 to commemorate the Tiananmen Massacre on June 4, 1989 as can be seen in one of the photos. Aside of that, there are other entertainment facilities like amphitheater and playgrounds. The park has gained some infamy for the so called "daima", which also means “aunties” which are middle aged women mainly from mainland China who are singing in public spaces and are considered a nuisance by many Hong Kongers. Protests have been staged against this activity in the park.
