Sensory Garden, Kwun Tong Promenade

The Kwun Tong Promenade has fast become a popular waterfront destination for tourists, local families and neighbourhood lunchtime office workers.

The spacious 4.3 hectare recreation area, built under a major highway overpass, offers impressive views of Hong Kong’s famous Victoria Harbour. Formerly the waterfront site of a Public Cargo Area and many recycling companies, the Hong Kong Government has revitalised the former industrial site to create a much-needed 1 km long public space.

Hypsos was selected to provide outdoor exhibits to create a “Sensory Garden”, an educational and fun installation primarily targeted at families and small groups. The area is organised into 4 sensory zones: Smell, Touch, Sound and Sight and offers various hands-on activities, including a Giant Kaleidoscope, Giant Sound Tubes and relief models of local flora, some including aromas.
