Major Attractions

This year’s Hong Kong Flower Show, with Stock as its theme flower, invites visitors on a fragrant journey through Hong Kong.  Meticulously crafted with over 6 000 blooms of Orchid and Myosotis, the flower wall showcases five giant Stocks composed of more than thirty 3D flowers (each measuring 0.3 to 1.2 metres in diameter), creating a vibrant and fragrant display.  Set against a sea of tulips, the elegant 3D Stocks create a romantic spring tableau that is perfect for photos and close-up appreciation.

Arranged in a heart-shaped arch, this sea of tulips features layered bands of blooms in a vivid gradient from yellow to purple.  These bands form a three-dimensional rainbow that draws visitors into a vibrant and romantic springtime setting.

With Lion Rock rising prominently at its centre, this garden plot brings together a series of iconic Kowloon landmarks to reveal the district’s rich and diverse character.  The bustling streets of Tsim Sha Tsui reflect a vibrant convergence of Chinese and international cultures.  Choi Hung Estate and its playgrounds evoke shared memories of the past.  The Kowloon Walled City bears the imprint of history and enduring legends.  Goldfish Street, Bird Street, and Temple Street vividly capture the lively spirit of local street culture.

Interwoven with an abundance of flowers, these landmarks form a resplendent painting scroll of Hong Kong.  Visitors to this garden plot will feel like time-travellers in a corridor where history and modern life intersect.  In this setting, one may savour the layered, vibrant, and enduring stories that define urban Kowloon.

Hong Kong’s outlying islands are steeped in cultural heritage, where tradition and modernity harmoniously converge.  The design of this plot captures this very essence, showcasing the unique character and customs of each island.  Here, one will find enduring traditional charm: the unique architecture of Tai O’s stilt houses preserves the traditional fishing village culture; the Cheung Chau Jiao Festival remains an enduring tradition; and the Wisdom Path on Lantau Island offers spiritual solace.  Alongside this lies dynamic modern features: the Ngong Ping cable car opens up panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes; the wind turbine on Lamma Island injects new momentum into environmental protection; the international airport brings tourists from around the world; and the Chinese white dolphins frolic in the sea.  Strolling through this plot is like stepping into a three-dimensional scroll painting, exploring the islands’ past and present while savoring the rich interplay of natural ecology and human architecture.

 

The taste of a culinary paradise goes far beyond the palate.  Dressed as a Hong Kong-style waiter and a chef, Enggie Pup and Artti Kitty bring Hong Kong’s famed classic delicacies into “A Taste of Hong Kong” garden plot for a truly eye-opening visual feast.

Whimsical sculptures of signature dishes are set amid a stunning floral landscape dominated by stock flowers.  Visitors are invited to walk among bamboo steamers of dim sum, curl up for a brief rest in oversized milk tea cups, or pose beside egg tarts and pineapple buns with butter, capturing playful moments and savouring a Hong Kong taste that is both distinctive and warmly familiar.

Travelling aboard the iconic Tram “Ding Ding” and enjoy a journey through bustling urban cityscape where modern skyscrapers stand alongside with traditional community. Along the route, pass the Old Legislative Council Building, the Hong Kong Ferris Wheel overlooking Victoria Harbour, and the Bank of China Tower, which together showcase the city’s dynamic blend of East and West, old and new.

Interested in local culture and traditions?  Visit the Happy Valley Racecourse to experience the excitement of horse racing; explore the century-old Blue House Cluster in Wan Chai to glimpse into Hong Kong’s past, or join the luminous spectacle of the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance.  Seeking tranquility?  Head to the Repulse Bay Beach, Hong Kong Island’s “back garden”, where golden sands and turquoise waves invite renewal.

A supporter of the Hong Kong Flower Show since 2013, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has been the major sponsor of the Flower Show since 2014 to provide funding to students for events such as making mosaiculture displays, bringing the Flower Show to all corners of communities.

The design weaves together attractions in Sha Tin, Tai Po, and Ping Shan in Yuen Long, set amid lush greenery to create an immersive cultural experience.  At its centre rises a luminous “Wishing Tree”, surrounded by traditional village-style Poon Choi displays and mahjong tables, evoking the convivial spirit of a rural festive gathering.  Nearby, the “Che Kung Temple” zone features an array of windmill forms, drum-shaped ornaments, and fortune stick motifs, conveying wishes for prosperity and good fortune.  Opposite stands the “Tsui Sing Lau Pagoda”, a feng shui pagoda distinguished by its zigzag-shaped brick eaves and gracefully upturned cornices.  A winding path then leads visitors to the “Railway Museum” area, where vintage lamp posts and rail track decorations stir a sense of nostalgia.  As night falls, this plot is gently bathed in a warm amber glow, embodying the essence of both urban and rural charm.

This plot is made up of three zones, presenting diverse expressions of natural landscapes while offering both visual enjoyment and educational value.  At the entrance, the “Dragon Boat Race” zone takes Shing Mun River in Sha Tin as its backdrop.  Dragon boat installations of varying sizes are arranged across ground plantings designed to evoke rippling water, conveying a strong sense of vitality, movement, and festive energy.  The central “Wetland Park” zone features an ecological pond and wooden boardwalk, planted with aquatic species and native trees to recreate a wetland environment that attracts birds and other wildlife.  At the far end, the “Geopark” zone showcases a landscape formed by volcanic rock features, illustrating the striking hexagonal rock columns that characterise Hong Kong’s unique geological heritage.  Winding pathways connect the three zones, allowing the visitor to appreciate the varied sights of nature brought together within a single garden journey.

The “Brand Hong Kong” floral wall, crafted from carnations, flaming katy and chrysanthemums, presents an interwoven tapestry of colour and visual depth.  A dragon leaps skyward amid fluttering ribbons, symbolising the remarkable vitality and ascent of Hong Kong as Asia’s World City.

This cosy indoor garden brings the relaxed atmosphere of an alfresco street corner café indoors.  Through thoughtfully designed interactive features and photo-friendly settings, visitors are invited not merely to pass through but to become part of the scene themselves.

Scattered around on the bar counter to the left are potted plants with flowers cascading down like curtains.  Visitors may take a seat and enjoy the blooms in quiet, all the while imagining the rich aroma of coffee in the air.  Or, they can put on an apron and play barista for a moment, pretending to brew their own custom drinks.  Beyond the floral archway on the right lies a secluded secret garden where an entire wall is planted with stock, this year’s theme flower, using coffee cups as containers.  The greenery stretches to the selfie area in the centre, where floral frames, bicycles, and carefully styled details fill every corner.  The space has been meticulously set up so that even casual snapshots make pretty scenes.

Visitors will hopefully not just take away photographs, but also warm memories of this garden.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant Matthiola incana, the design incorporates the distinctive forms and vertical growth of the theme flower, representing resilience and vitality.  Visitors standing within the circular arch pavilion are guided and immersed by the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, producing a kaleidoscopic visual experience.

Over the past 40 years, the Architectural Services Department has demonstrated innovation, sustainability, and commitment to professional excellence.  Our evolving designs, much like a kaleidoscope, aim to inspire future generations and establish a lasting legacy that celebrates nature and creativity.

The Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) display booth features a bird-shaped pavilion symbolising “Nesting in Hong Kong, Soaring to New Heights”.  Following a flock of bird sculptures, visitors can wander through a sea of flowers while overlooking the cityscape and achievements built by the CEDD over the years.  They can also visit the spherical photogenic spot formed by the CEDD’s initials, symbolising our vision of building joyful communities together.

On the other side of the pavilion, multimedia displays and holographic projections blend with the floral landscape, creating an immersive experience showcasing urban development and engineering innovation.  Echoing the flower show's theme, we have specially selected various aromatic plants, guiding visitors on a fragrant journey to explore Hong Kong's aromatic charm.

Our display booth features interactive elements innovatively upcycled from timber reclaimed from Northern Metropolis development projects, promoting sustainable development while creating wonderful memories for visitors.

The Correctional Services Department (CSD) has chosen “Upcycling for a New Life” as the theme of this year’s landscape display.  A significant amount of yard waste has been upcycled to form various components of the garden landscape.  Through showcasing flowers cultivated and landscapes made by persons in custody who have received industrial and vocational training, the CSD aims to convey the messages of “safeguarding our country and home, leading a law-abiding and drug-free life as well as supporting offender rehabilitation” to the public, thereby promoting community education and calling for public support for rehabilitation work.  The parterre in the centre of the plot is designed with departmental elements and surrounded by a profusion of flowers, displaying a vibrant and diverse array that highlights the unique blend of the city and its floral landscape.  The plot is also adorned with some uniquely designed upcycled decorations, including eco-friendly vases and small panda statues co-created by the CSD and students from schools under Yan Chai Hospital, to promote the message of “fully utilising the best talent and resources”, and encourage the public to make concerted efforts in building a harmonious and inclusive Hong Kong.

A heartening journey begins at “Floral Whisper”, an enchanting space adorned with giant floral installations.  The Display of the Greening, Landscape, and Tree Management Section (GLTMS) of the Development Bureau invites the public to explore and delve into the stories of Hong Kong’s trees.  Entering the “Timeless Treehouse” where a nostalgic atmosphere sets the stage for games and displays, learning about the common plants in Hong Kong and the life cycle of the urban forests. Passing through the giant leaf installations　— “Photosynthesis Passage”, visitors arrive at the explorer's picturesque farmhouse — “Aroma Farm”, joining the outdoor tea party and appreciating how nature enriches our lives through the food it provides. Finally, the mound of wildflowers demonstrates how the interwoven root systems of plants stabilise slopes and purify water.

The Display allows the public to realise the close interrelationship between humans and the nature, deepens their appreciation for urban greening, reveals the philosophy of sustainability and encourages collective action.

Stock, as a metaphor, symbolises the Drainage Services Department (DSD)’s steadfast and loyal commitment to cleaning up our water and preparing for rainy days.  Our exhibition, closely aligned with the theme “A Fragrant Journey through Hong Kong", unveils the resilience of this livable metropolis: our exceptional contributions in sewage treatment and flood prevention. Through advanced technology, we ensure our drainage channels remain clear, reducing the risk of flooding to strengthen Hong Kong's flood resilience.

Here, you will follow DSD’s KOL “Drainy” on a fascinating exploration of the stormwater drainage system!  You will witness our advance preparations before and during the rainy season: intelligent monitoring, robotic desilting and innovative technology for flood prevention.  Each step demonstrates our determination and capability in maintaining clear drains and defending against flooding.

This is not merely an exhibition of achievements, but also an invitation for collaboration.  Let us work together to protect our environment, prevent drain pollution, and join hands in building a sustainable Hong Kong.

With “In Search of Fragrance – Continuation” as the core concept, the department’s spirit of sustainability is integrated into this year’s “A Fragrant Journey through Hong Kong” theme. Through artistic designs that embody “Turning Waste into Resources”, urban traces such as yard waste and other recyclables are transformed into plant containers that carry the city’s fragrance. Nectar-producing and aromatic plants are used to create various effects, highlighting biodiversity as one of the city’s most precious aurae.  Ultimately, the exhibition area guides visitors from the sensory experience of "searching for fragrance" towards embracing a “continued” green lifestyle, making floral scents not just memories, but a vision for sustainable development.

Thanks to TWGHs E-Co Village for their support in providing greening volunteers to participate in the design and planting work for this event, enhancing community engagement.

Hong Kong’s roads and railways are intricately intertwined, weaving the pulse of the city and shortening the distance between people, thus giving the urban rhythm a vivid sense of life.  Over the past 40 years since its establishment, the Highways Department (HyD) has been driving the diverse road and railway infrastructure development, not only bringing more convenience to the public’s daily life but also shaping Hong Kong's unique cityscape.

The exhibition, themed “Journey Through the Past 40 Years”, creates a dynamic spatial experience through interactive projections and digital visuals, giving a retrospect of the HyD’s key achievements since its establishment.  As visitors enter through an archway symbolising a time tunnel, they embark on a journey across past and future.  The design draws inspiration from the fluidity and circulation of highways and roundabouts, with forty feature columns representing the Department's 40-year timeline.  The central propeller sculpture is a sign of innovation and upward progress that symbolise the Department’s use of technology to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability, demonstrating the HyD’s commitment to urban connectivity and high-quality services.

In this landscaped garden adorned with artistic installations, the Housing Department showcases the achievements of public housing in Hong Kong along the city’s journey to building a metropolis. The rattan-woven archway, flowing gently from the entrance to the canopy, echoes our humble start as a rustic fishing village.  Choi Hung Estate, Nam Shan Estate and Shun On Estate are juxtaposed under the skyline of Lion Rock, which witnesses how these and other public housing estates carry on the Lion Rock Spirit and the Housing Department’s mission across decades.

The “Tree of Hope” centrepiece stands for the vibrant development of public housing.  With misting, birdsongs and floral scents enabled by smart devices, the footpath beneath is full of surprises that manifest the thoughtful innovation of smart estates.  Here, you can follow your curiosity by turning the interactive display boards to find out the estate makeovers done with Well‧Being Design, or sink into the inviting arms of the “Happy Family” bench in the rest area for a blissful hug.

Best viewed from outside, the wavy greenery walls feature decorative openings themed on community and intergenerational harmony.  The sunflowers and windmills at front symbolise vitality and hope.  Vast beds of stock flowers around the garden add a splash of colour and captivate visitors with their fragrance and beauty.  They make the best companions as we journey through the tale of a city that millions call home today.

This spring, Ocean Park’s iconic “seahorse” emblem on Nam Long Shan blossoms into one of the Flower Show’s must-see attractions, joined by an adorable cartoon giant panda family.  Blanketed in a profusion of stock flowers, the hillside bursts with vibrant purple hues.  At the hilltop, Ying Ying and Le Le share a joyful, heartwarming moment, gazing fondly at their twins, Jia Jia and De De, who are playing happily amidst the crimson-purple blossoms.  At the base, An An and Ke Ke wave enthusiastically from colourful flower beds, inviting everyone to come and discover the springtime charm of “Seahorse Hill”.

As a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity, China has long been an active promoter and participant in global biodiversity conservation.  Inspired by the Convention’s 2050 vision of “Living in Harmony with Nature”, this garden adopts the theme “Nature’s Dream Dwelling”.  It is visually anchored by the Beijing Zoo’s historical gate.  Through multi-layered landscaping, the garden blends large-scale green sculptures, fiberglass artworks, and silhouettes on perforated metal plates to present a vivid scene where a myriad of creatures roam freely in their natural habitats.  This design symbolises a flourishing ecological dialogue between Beijing and Hong Kong, celebrating Beijing Zoo’s dream of conservation nurtured for over 120 years.

Rooted in Lingnan's cultural heritage, the garden unfolds with three contextual curves shaped by G(Guang), Z(Zhou) and W(World) forms, weaving a fluid landscape where history, nature and daily life spiral into one.

The Historical Context Curve links Lingnan's ancient architectural symbols such as arcades and Manchu windows. The Natural Texture Curve mimics the winding Pearl River, channeling river breezes and framing river views. The Modern Life Curve follows human activity tracks, condensing experiential nodes. Through latticed windows, visitors' silhouettes against the river merge with echoes of the past; where the river breeze brushes past, ancient courtyards are filled with people's laughter. In resonance, the three curves fuse ancient and contemporary, harmonise humans with their surroundings, and embody the myriad charms of Lingnan life.

Hangzhou Academy, formerly known as Wansong Academy, is said to be the very place where the legendary “Butterfly Lovers” – Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai – once studied together. 

In this garden setting, the first structure that greets visitors is the imposing memorial archway inscribed with “Hangzhou Academy”.  It opens into a sanctuary imbued with literary ambiance.  The silhouettes of students paying respect to their teacher remind one of the days when culture and etiquette were held in the highest esteem.  A gentle stroll along the stepping stones, with bamboos shading the path and a soft breeze blowing, brings a deep sense of tranquility.  Tucked away at the end of the path, the eaves of a classroom building peek from the lush flowers and trees.  Inside, neatly arranged desks and benches hark back to scenes of scholarly discourse and teaching of bygone days.  Outside, the open space under the bamboos depicts a scene of farming and studying, conveying the traditional ideal of nurturing aspirations through rural life. 

This garden, framed in bamboo and adorned by stocks, is a feast for both the eye and the mind as the seasons come and go.  To spend time here is to connect with a thousand-year-old intellectual legacy, nourishing one’s character and moral sense in a profoundly refined environment.

This garden takes Senado Square and Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao’s two iconic landmarks, as its central features, adorned with lotus-shaped installations and Portuguese architectural elements.  Amid layers of aromatic stock flowers and ever-changing lightscapes, the city’s World Heritage charm and its blend of Chinese and Western cultures are transformed into a vibrant garden landscape.

Inspired by Shenzhen’s harmonious confluence of “mountain, sea, and city”, this garden presents a layered landscape of lush hills, ecological water features, and tranquil resting spaces.   Each element is a metaphor: the blooming flowers embody the city’s vitality; the shaded greenery echo the mountain ecology; the water mirrors the coastal charm, and the serene resting areas carry the rhythm of urban slow living. 

Central to the design are artistic installations with flowing curved forms.  They outline the layered silhouettes of harbor vessels, their tops unfurling like sails, capturing the essence of “setting sail when the wind is fair”.  They convey Shenzhen’s entrepreneurial spirit of forging ahead and envisions a sustainable future where urban development, nature, and humanity coexist in harmony.

The garden captures, on a miniature scale, the close geographical ties between Guangdong and Macao.  A loop path represents a ring of cooperation, linking the two regions in joint research, industry and livelihood, while spotlighting Hengqin’s rise as an in-depth cooperation zone.  The fishing net suspended above “Hengqin Island” recalls the island’s village past and evokes its current role as a networked hub, pooling resources and weaving a shared dream for Guangdong and Macao.  Beaded ornaments celebrate Hengqin’s vibrant triumphs, especially in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated circuit industry.

Inspired by the philosophy of “learning from nature to achieve exquisite craftsmanship”, this garden embodies the landscape wisdom of “seeing the vast within the small”.  Through the thoughtful arrangement of pavilions, winding paths, and seasonal flora, it recreates the poetic essence of a classical Suzhou garden in the heart of the city.  The design interprets traditional textures with modern materials, integrating ancient floral symbolism.  With flowers, trees, and landscapes, it builds a cultural bridge that immerses visitors in the idyllic atmosphere of Jiangnanspring, experiencing the rebirth of traditional aesthetics in a contemporary context.
