Introduction: |
Starting from the Peak Galleria and proceeding along Lugard Road, this century-old trail offers extensive views, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour and its vicinity. Along the way, you will learn about common local tree species and discover the unexpected biodiversity thriving next to the bustling metropolis. We will also lead you through the Pinewood Battery in Lung Fu Shan Country Park, where you can learn about the war history in Hong Kong through its wartime relics. Although the Pinewood Battery was damaged in the World War II, surprisingly, its command post, observation post, magazines, and even the lavatory remain in good condition. |

Introduction: |
Birdwatching might sound challenging. Yet, simply by slowing down your pace, you can appreciate the diverse and fascinating world of birds. Have you ever wondered about the daily lives of birds? Why do black kites soar in circles? Do birds wake up punctually every morning? What kind of bird is the "pitch-rising bird"? Is there such a thing as "surrogate mother" in the avian world? We will guide you into the hidden lives of birds — strolling through the woods, listening to their songs, and learning to observe and cherish our feathered friends. |
