Lily Pond
The first incarnation of the Lily Pond appeared on campus in 1951, and was built with sediment from Deep Water Bay. From the 50s to the early 80s, the large lawn at the Pond offered a green escape from the bricks of the campus. Thus, it was one of the most popular places for students to organise orientations, meetings and activities. Like Loke Yew Hall, the Lily Pond is also an integral part of student's experience at HKU

From the 50s to the early 80s, the large lawn at the Pond offered a green escape from the bricks of the campus. Thus, it was one of the most popular places for students to organise orientations, meetings and activities. Like Loke Yew Hall, the Lily Pond is also an integral part of student's experience at HKU.

By the mid-80s, the large lawn at Lily Pond disappeared to give way to campus development. In order to preserve the Lily Pond and the collective memories, the Pond has undergone several changes to become what you see today.

Today, when you visit the Lily Pond in summer, you can find lotus flowers in bloom. In the small grove surrounding the Pond, you can see trees which came from South Africa and Australia, and were transplanted to the Pond in the 1930s. You can also find a tall sweet gum tree, which is a champion tree in Hong Kong.
