Victoria Park

Victoria Park, Hong Kong's municipal park, lies between Victoria Park Road and Causeway Road, to the east of the Causeway Bay shopping center. It has an open-air swimming pool (open in summer), tennis courts, roller-skating rinks and (by the standards of central Hong Kong) unusually large areas of grass and trees. The park is the scene of open-air concerts, cycle races and many cultural events. The Mid-Autumn Festival in September attracts thousands of people carrying lanterns in a kind of harvest thanksgiving festival, with a variety of popular entertainments and an abundance of food and drink.
