The signature tiger of the famous “Tiger Balm” brand loomed imperiously over you on any visit to “Tiger Balm Gardens”. Less gruesome as an attraction than its sister location in Singapore; this garden was full of elaborate creatures and dioramas perched on a hillside high above Tin Hau.

It was a place for respite, for wonder and though many would say just a folly; that it existed at all is testament to the owners of the brand that lives on today, providing relief for many dedicated customers.

Now with only very few remnants visible, some of its statues and features are believed to still be kept out of sight gathering dust. A Hong Kong historical landmark lost the insatiable demand for land to house the ever growing city as it continued to build and soar skyward.
