Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) spreads over 148 hectares of land on the northern slopes of Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest mountain. Surrounded by towering peaks, the site is rich with natural features, including streams, woodlands, orchards, vegetable gardens, walking trails, live animal exhibits, floral exhibits, the Wild Animal Rescue Centre(WARC), a native tree nursery, and conservation and education facilities. During the special exhibition ‘Side by Side In Harmony: Snakes, Nature & Us’, we are offering exclusive guided tours that will take you on an in-depth exploration journey.

The tour includes onsite shuttle service and will guide you through the Kadoorie Brothers Memorial Pavilion, the Grassland Path and the T.S. Woo Memorial Pavilion, before ascending to the summit of Kwun Yum Shan. At the peak, you can overlook the terraced emerald tea gardens while savouring our specialty green tea. The tour continues to the Orchid Haven and the Gloria Barretto Orchid Sanctuary, where you'll gain comprehensive insights into snake conservation. Throughout the journey, professional guides will provide detailed explanations about snakes' unique characteristics, habitats, behaviours, and their crucial roles in the ecosystem. You'll have the opportunity to meet our animal ambassador – Ball Python up close. 

We invite you to slow down your pace, approach with curiosity and openness, experience the serene beauty of nature, and develop a deeper connection with snakes and all living creatures as we celebrate the beauty of natural diversity.
