位於大坑山萬金油花園內,於1936年7月21日行進伙禮(即入伙),整座別墅和園景十分美麗。
花園內有不少人物和鳥獸的雕塑,最引人注目的是地獄內之「十間閻王殿」的恐怖情景。還有一座作為地標的「虎塔」。每逢節日及農曆新年,有2至3萬人前往參觀。
部分花園於1987年被改建為住宅的龍華花園。餘下部分於2001年關閉,用作興建高尚住宅。
HAW PAR VILLA C.1965
The villa has a beautiful Tiger Balm Garden and it was opened on 21 July, 1936.
There are many statues of Chinese mythology characters, birds and animals. The most fascinating and horrible scenery is the Ten Courts of Hell,featuring the ten steps of judgement before reincarnation.A 7-story White Pagoda called “Tiger Tower” is the highlight of the garden.
In 1987, some parts of the garden were demolished to build the residential blocks. The other parts closed in 2001 and redeveloped to the residences of high class. ■鄭寶鴻 香港歷史博物館名譽顧問
