From Causeway Bay MTR Station (Recommended Route)

Causeway Bay Station is the closest MTR station to the Victoria Park flower fair. Exit A leads directly to Hennessy Road and Yee Wo Street, placing you at the park's southwestern corner within a 5-minute walk. The station serves the Island Line (blue), connecting directly to Central, Admiralty, and Wan Chai.

  1. Exit Causeway Bay Station via Exit A (Sogo Department Store)
  2. Cross Yee Wo Street at the pedestrian crossing
  3. Walk east along Causeway Road for approximately 350 metres
  4. Enter Victoria Park through the gate near the tennis court complex
  5. The flower fair occupies the park's central football pitches β€” follow the red and gold signage

Walking time: 5 minutes from Exit A. Distance: ~350 metres. The route is fully paved and step-free, making it accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. During the fair, additional staff and signage direct visitors from the station exit to the fair entrances.

From Tin Hau MTR Station (Alternative Route)

Tin Hau Station serves the eastern side of Victoria Park and is often less crowded than Causeway Bay during peak CNY periods. Exit A1 opens onto King's Road, with a 3-minute walk to the park's eastern entrance near the swimming pool.

  1. Exit Tin Hau Station via Exit A1
  2. Cross King's Road at the pedestrian crossing
  3. Walk west along the park's perimeter fence for approximately 200 metres
  4. Enter Victoria Park through the eastern gate
  5. The flower fair is visible immediately inside the gate

Walking time: 3 minutes from Exit A1. Distance: ~200 metres. This entrance is particularly useful for visitors approaching from the eastern side of Hong Kong Island or from North Point. The Tin Hau area also offers more local snack shops and smaller flower stalls along King's Road if you arrive early and want to browse before entering the main fair.

By Hong Kong Tramways (Scenic Route)

The Hong Kong Tram (locally called "Ding Ding") runs along the northern coast of Hong Kong Island and stops directly at Victoria Park. Take the tram heading eastbound (from Western District to Shau Kei Wan) or westbound (from Shau Kei Wan to Western District) and alight at the Victoria Park stop on Causeway Road. The tram stop is directly opposite the park's southwestern corner.

Tram operating hours: 6:00 AM – 12:30 AM daily (last tram varies by route). Frequency: Every 5–10 minutes during daytime, every 10–15 minutes in the evening. Fare: HK$3.20 (adult, Octopus card or exact change). The tram is the slowest option but offers a scenic, nostalgic experience and drops you right at the fair's doorstep. During CNY, the tram can become very crowded β€” allow extra time for boarding and alighting.

By Bus β€” Direct Routes to Victoria Park

Several bus routes serve Victoria Park and the surrounding Causeway Bay area, with stops on Gloucester Road and Causeway Road directly adjacent to the park. Key routes include:

  • Cross-Harbour Tunnel Routes (102, 103, 117, 118, 170, 603, 619, 641, 671, 690): Stop at Victoria Park Road (Gloucester Road flyover) β€” a 3-minute walk to the park's western side. These routes cross from Kowloon (Mong Kok, Prince Edward, Tsim Sha Tsui) directly to Causeway Bay.
  • Citybus / NWFB Routes (1, 2, 5B, 10, 37A/37B, 40, 72, 96, 397): Stop on Causeway Road directly outside Victoria Park. Route 1 and 10 are particularly useful for visitors from Central, Admiralty, and Wan Chai.
  • Green Minibus (5M, 10, 14, 30, 40, 48, 56): Route 5M serves Tin Hau and Victoria Park on a circular route. Route 10 runs between Central and North Point via Causeway Bay.

Bus fares: HK$3–15 depending on distance and operator (cash or Octopus). Buses offer more luggage space than the MTR β€” useful if you are carrying CNY purchases or large potted plants. During CNY peak hours, buses along Gloucester Road can be heavily congested; allow 15–20 minutes extra travel time.

On Foot β€” Walking from Nearby Districts

Victoria Park is easily walkable from several neighbouring districts, particularly if you are combining your visit with other Causeway Bay or Wan Chai attractions.

  • From Wan Chai (15–20 minutes): Walk north along Gloucester Road or Tonnochy Road, crossing the harbour-front area. Pass the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, then continue north to Victoria Park. The route passes through Wan Chai's commercial district with shops and cafes along the way.
  • From Tsim Sha Tsui (30–40 minutes via Cross-Harbour Tunnel): Walk through Tsim Sha Tsui to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel entrance, continue through the tunnel, and emerge in Causeway Bay. A more comfortable alternative is the MTR (Tsuen Wan Line to Admiralty, change to Island Line to Causeway Bay, 15 minutes total).
  • From Central (20–25 minutes): Walk along Connaught Road Central, through Wan Chai, to Victoria Park. Alternatively, the MTR is faster (Island Line, 8 minutes to Causeway Bay).

The park's perimeter is fully paved with pedestrian paths, and the Gloucester Road underpass provides a safe crossing beneath the busy flyover. During the CNY fair, pedestrian flow is managed with additional signage and crowd control barriers around the main fair entrances.

By Taxi β€” Door-to-Door Access

Taxis (red, urban area) can drop you at the Victoria Park Road entrance on Gloucester Road or at the Causeway Road gate near the tennis courts. The drop-off points are within 1–2 minutes' walk of the fair entrances. During CNY peak hours (especially CNY Eve), taxi queues at the park can exceed 30–45 minutes, and some drivers may refuse short trips. Have exact fare ready and expect to walk the final stretch during the busiest periods.

Taxi fare estimate: From Tsim Sha Tsui: HK$60–90. From Central: HK$40–55. From Mong Kok / Prince Edward: HK$70–100. Fares increase during surge periods and rain.

CNY 2027: Special Transport Considerations for Victoria Park

The Victoria Park flower fair operates under special arrangements during the CNY period (31 January – 6 February 2027). Road closures and pedestrian management measures are implemented by the Transport Department and Hong Kong Police around the park's perimeter, particularly on Jardine's Causeway and Victoria Park Road. Gloucester Road eastbound may be closed or restricted during peak evening hours, especially on CNY Eve (5 February).

  • Road closures: Announced approximately one week before CNY. Check the Transport Department website (td.gov.hk) for the latest traffic restrictions.
  • Public transport surcharge: No standard surcharge, but increased demand may mean longer waiting times for taxis and buses.
  • Arrive early: MTR and tram services are extremely crowded on CNY Eve evening. For a calmer visit, aim for weekday mornings (Mon–Thu) or the final afternoon (3–5 PM) of the fair.
  • Stroller and wheelchair access: The fair is fully accessible. All main entrances have step-free access, and the park's paved pathways are wide enough for wheelchairs and strollers even during peak crowds.

From the Flower Market to Victoria Park β€” The Kowloon Route

For visitors already in the Prince Edward Flower Market area, Victoria Park is a 15-minute MTR ride away. Take the Tsuen Wan Line (red) from Prince Edward Station to Admiralty, change to the Island Line (blue) towards Chai Wan, and alight at Causeway Bay Station. Exit A leads to the park in 5 minutes. Alternatively, cross-harbour bus routes (102, 117, 170, 690) run directly from Mong Kok / Prince Edward to Victoria Park Road β€” approximately 25–35 minutes depending on traffic.

πŸ“Œ CNY 2027 Transport Tips

Public transport is strongly recommended. Parking is extremely limited during the CNY fair β€” the park's public car parks are closed or reserved, and street parking in Causeway Bay is metered and scarce. Allow 30–45 minutes extra travel time during peak hours (6–9 PM on CNY Eve). Download the MTR app or Citymapper for real-time routing before departing.
