Ma Wan Park (6) – Ferns and Cactuses


Next to the name plate of Ma Wan Park was the entrance (no admission fee to be paid) to various sections of the Park on a small hill. After passing the entrance gates with counters, visitors might visit the following places by means of wooden staircases and passageways:

(1) Hilltop Lookout (鳥望台) – Should it be better called (望鳥台)?

(2) Australian Garden (澳洲園)

(3) Riverside Garden (山澗園)

(4) Windmill Station (再生能源基地)

(5) Adventure Journey (歷奇園地)

Ferns could be seen here. Their existence guaranteed that the air condition on Ma Wan Island was good. There was a detailed description of this kind of plants, which was quite educational to the public.

I wondered why cactuses were found growing beside some of the staircases. We were NOT in a desert.

It is such an interesting park, we must visit it when we go to Hong Kong next time.
