We are privileged to organise a guided tour of the Hong Kong Wetland Park with renowned architect and ink painter Professor Raymond Fung. The HK Wetland Park was originally intended to be an ecological mitigation area. It was developed into the HK Wetland Park, a world-class facility for conservation, education and tourism and features some of the city’s unique flora and fauna. It has received many awards for its architectural and landscape design. Themed exhibition galleries showcase the importance of wetlands on biodiversity, civilisation and conservation. The specially designed habitats are home to an impressive cast of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, reptiles and fish.
