Definitely not to be missed is the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Gardens in the New Territories. You might even meet up with Stefan Gale ( a Briton), the man in charge of orchids and co-author of the definitive book on HK orchid species 'The Wild Orchids of Hong Kong' .BTW he was kind enough to present me with a signed copy of the book. I won't be surprised if you run into him at the TIOS as he is very much involved in the coservation of orchids of Southern China. Another interesting place to visit is the Flower Market in Mongkok.
