Built in 1871, it is the first garden in Hong Kong.

The distance is about 25 miles (40km). You can taxi there for about HKD 300. The trip takes about 40 minutes.
Or, you can take Airport Express train from HKIA to HK Station, Exit C. The fare is HKD 100 per person, and the trip takes about 25 minutes. Then, walk south for about 0.6 mile to the gardens. ;)
