Walking Guide

Take the Subway Line 5 and get off at the Tian Tan Dongmen Station, exit from A2 (northwest exit). Walk about 100 meters to the East Gate of Tian Tan Park. Enter from the East Gate and follow the northernmost path to reach a field of February兰花 (iris) flowers. Note: Since "二月兰" is a specific Chinese flower, the accurate English name is "Chinese Baby Blue Eyes" or "Glebionis_excepta", but it's often translated as "February Iris" for simplicity.
