Located at the junction of Loli Laoma Lu and Helanyuan Malu, Lou Lim Ioc Gardens ( lulianluo gongyuan ) are the only classical Chinese style gardens in the Hong Kong and Macao region. The gardens are a harmonious and charming arrangement of pretty pavilions, delicate terraces, towers, ponds, bridges and winding corridors.

The main body of the Lou Lim Ioc Garden contains a zig-zag bridge, spectacular rockery, a secluded bamboo wood and miniature waterfall. Small paths meander through the rockery and in summer the trees and plants blossom with lotus flowers.

There is an ornate mansion house in the gardens which once belonged to a wealthy Chinese family. Today however, the building is a school.

Opening hours: The gardens are open daily 8am-6pm.
Cost: M$1 except on Friday when entry is free.
