Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens
The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens was called "Bing Tau Garden" ("bing tau" meaning the head of the soldiers) either because it was initiated by a British officer, or because "bing tau" was a nickname for "the governor". The garden was completed in 1867, overlooking the Government House. Now, it has more than 200 species of plants. The zoo was added later, thus named "Zoological and Botanical Gardens" afterwards. It was the only public park in the early days in Hong Kong.
