Today, exactly a year ago (January 24, 2025), sister dearest and I discovered this park that is walking distance from her residence. It is located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront in the Sai Ying Pun district. Easily accessible from the Hong Kong - Macau ferry terminal in Sheung Wan with a scenic path which leads all the way to Sai Ying Pun.
The park is named after the historic Chinese figure and it spans an area of 4.2 hectares. Its facilities include a playground, a soccer pitch, two basketball courts, a public swimming pool with changing rooms as well as a sports center with squash courts.
It was my go to place when I needed to clear my head and heal my broken heart. After lunch, I would walk about 5 minutes to the park and sit on one of the numerous benches. Watch people jogging, families playing soccer, see the HK - Macau ferries sail by, while enjoying the cold winter breeze. I would pray incessantly and sometimes even cried my heart out. It was a really miserable period in my life. So much anguish, self doubt, very low self esteem, weighing my options, questioning my life decisions. I still cherish those really precious moments at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park because I was able to reflect and contemplate in peace.
