‘CIC Zero Carbon Park’ is the first-ever zero net carbon emission architecture in Hong Kong. Zero carbon architecture means that the energy required for operation within the building is completely provided or compensated by renewable energy. With more than 200 different flowers and trees, it is a building in the subtropical zone that considers zero energy consumption throughout its life cycle; in addition, it serves as an exhibition, education and information center to promote zero-carbon and low-carbon building design and technology, smart cities, and to raise public awareness of low-carbon lifestyle.

Tips: CIC Zero Carbon Park is divided into the ‘Outdoor Landscape Area’ and the ‘Indoor Exhibition Center’. While the former is free for access, advance booking is required for the Indoor Exhibition Center. Guided tour is provided for introducing the concepts and technologies behind ecological buildings within CIC Zero Carbon Building. It is suggested to book in advance of your visit.

MEGABOX is a big shopping mall next to the CIC Zero Carbon Building, MEGABOX is equipped with elevators reaching all floors as well as sufficient number of accessible toilets. The stores are larger in size than normal ones, with wider passageways inside the stores. This is why this shopping mall is quite convenient for disabled people. The downside of this shopping mall is that there is no wheelchair ramp at the front entrance, and wheelchair users can only access through the car park, where it can be quite dangerous. We advise that the shopping mall make necessary improvements.

After visiting the CIC Zero Carbon Park, visitors may choose to take Bus 215X or Bus 15A to Kwun Tong Promenade. Originally known as Kwun Tong Public Cargo Working Area, the promenade stretches for about one kilometer along the waterfront, offering a spectacular view of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. Kwun Tong Promenade was formerly a public cargo working area and thus is designed with the concept of a working area, with a mock crane tower and a waste paper bundle art installation as landmark buildings. After nightfall, the light and shadow of the characteristic towers in the promenade dance together with the water mist installation on the ground, bringing a pleasant dreamy atmosphere for the eyes.

Tips: Visitors can enjoy the Victoria Harbour during day time, beautiful sunset at dusk and light magic on art installations at night at Kwun Tong Promenade and the wonderful light show of the Music Fountain. Visitors can visit the promenade depending on what they would love to see.
