"Bing Tau" means the head of the soldiers or the Commander-in-Chief (i.e. Governor), because he was also the commander of the army. In 1841-42, a temporary Governor's House was located inside the Gardens.
The construction of the Gardens began in 1860 and completed in 1871. The Albany Road divided the gardens into two parts: the "Big Bing Tau" and the "Second Bing Tau". A fountain has been the focus of the "Big Bing Tau".
In 1975, the name of the gardens changed to "Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens". It is located at Mid-levels, on the northern slope of Victoria Peak with a highest point of 100 metres and a lowest point of 62 metres above sea level and has been opened to the public since 1871.
