1. Central and Western District Promenade Sheung Wan Section- Pet Corner While not a large park, Central and Western District Promenade Sheung Wan Section is a place favoured by many people due to its relatively quiet environment. Do not confuse it with Central Section though, as only Sheung Wan Section is officially recognised as a pet corner. It has facilities such as dog excreta collection bins, dog latrine and hand-washing facility. Enjoy a pleasant walk with your dog while viewing the skyscrapers across Victoria Harbour.
1. 中西區海濱長廊 上環段-寵物角 雖然中西區海濱長廊 上環段不算是一個特別大的地 方，但很多人都嚮往其寧靜的環境。可是，不要把它 與中環段混淆，因為中環段並不是正式可以遛狗的地 方。上環段-寵物角有不少寵物設施，包括狗糞收集 箱、狗廁所和洗手設備；在享受與狗狗跑步的同時， 亦可以觀賞維港的景色。
2. Dragon’s Back Hike Dragon’s Back Hike is a very famous hiking trail known for its stunning scenery and an easy-to-walk trail. In fact, it has been selected by Time Asia in 2004 as the best urban hiking trail. On the peak you will see outlying islands in the southern side of Hong Kong as well as scenery which you will never expect to see in Hong Kong. While the trail may run out of tarmac, it is never too difficult for humans and dogs alike.
2. 龍脊郊遊徑 龍脊是香港極其出名的遠足徑，沿路有令人驚嘆的美 景，而它本身並不是一條難行的路。在2004年它被 時代周刊亞洲版選了為亞洲區的最佳市區遠足徑。當 你到達了山頂時你就可以看到港島南邊的島嶼和一些 你從來不會預期在香港見到的景色。雖然龍脊郊遊徑 有不少的泥路，但對於人類或狗隻來說都是一條易走 的路。

3. Cheung Wan Street Rest Garden Cheung Wan Street Rest Garden is a place you would want to spend some time with your dogs. Apart from being close to the city, meaning you can get there easily, it is divided into Big Dog Area and Small Dog Area. So whether you have a Dachshund or a Saint Bernard, it will be the park for you. 4. Kowloon Tsai Park Kowloon Tsai Park is a very large park, somewhere you can spend an entire day walking your dog and conversing with other pet parents. We are sure your dogs will also be amazed at the sheer size of the park, something of a rarity in Hong Kong.

3. 長環街休憩花園 長環街休憩花園是一個與狗狗休息和遊戲的理想地 方。除了接近市區和有方便的交通，這公園亦分為兩 區：小狗活動區和大狗活動區。所以，無論你養的是 臘腸狗或聖伯納犬，此公園都會適合你。 4. 九龍仔公園 九龍仔公園是一個非常龐大的公園。你可以用整天與 你的狗狗漫步，或與其他養狗之人交流心得。我們相 信你的狗狗亦會因公園的規模而感到驚訝。
