Hong Kong 4: The final day spent in the local park, aviary, and the nearby inhumane zoo

Miles had been having some stomach problems yesterday but they got worse today.  So, it was a short day.  I ended up just going to local Hong Kong Park to walk around and look at the gardens and aviary and then went a few minutes away to the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens.  The Park was absolutely fantastic.  There were turtles, flowers, and a beautiful aviary, with tons of birds.  When I walked a few minutes away, to the Zoo and Gardens, it was like a totally different world.  Birds were in tiny enclosures and all sorts of monkeys were in even smaller enclosures.  It was truly awful.  The entrance to the zoo had an arch with a plaque stating that it was made in the memory of those that died in World War 1 and 2, aiding the British.  It is a shame that such an embarrassing display was made in honor of those people.  And botanical gardens?  I saw nothing resembling such.

This was what I saw at Hong Kong Park.




This is one picture from the zoo and then a picture of an odd street performer outside of the metro station that led to 10k Buddha yesterday.
