HK Wetland Park
Wetland Park only consist of 47 parking lots. Despite of heavy rain that morning, all of the parking lots were fully occupied. KS had to park our car at the 'nearby' housing estate. And then he walked for 10 min under the heavy rain to meet us in the main entrance, gosh.
While KS was lining up for the tickets, the kids entered this forbidden zone to "play" with the "ducks". Thank God they didn't "do" anything on the duckies.
Oyster shell made-into-a-wall, guess how mana are there? Whenever I see stuffs being grouped together into something, it pinches my nerve to guess its quantity...
Wetland Park in cloudy and rainy day.
The Wetland Interactive World. It has several themed exhibition galleries, a theatre, a souvenir shop, an indoor play area, and a resource center. The themed exhibition galleries showcase the importance of wetland on biodiversity, civilization and conservation.
The souvenir shop. The things there are quite pricely, I guess most people just watch than buying it home.
Somehow I like these owls, I think our car will look cool if we fill it up with owls.

The boys exclaimed : "Nemo, Nemo"

Real fish, not specimen.
The aquarium is displaying mock-ups of wetland plants at the Hong Kong Wetland Park
Some sort of freaking primitive plant on earth...
Some sort of freaking alien-like water creature on earth. I forgot what it's called lah.
The documentary show of human civilization is projected on the circular ceiling. People can sit on the chair and look up on it. After 5 min, my neck got sore already. Why can't the chair be tilted to bed-shape wo?
This is one of the screen we saw on the ceiling..
This silent short movie was projected on the wall. People need to stand there and watch.
The kids didn't know to appreciate this seemingly hi-tech game. They just ran here and there for fun. And thus, I have no time to read what is this all about..sigh.
Out there is the Wetland Reserve Center. In every september, different species of birds will start to migrate from the north to south, and they will stop by HK. People can observe the birds at here. Under the cool conditioning environment, I bet watching bird would become an enjoyable activity to do.
This place is the main lobby leading to every different gallaries, look like a musuem?
It's really tired to keep track with the kids. If they could sit there longer, I would love to do that lo.
Inside the children playground. This is the first time we took a group photo with the closest relative to human. Such an honor.
Only 30 kids and their parents were allowed to enter the playground for each session (duration : 20 min). Of course we have to queue up to get a no from 1-30 beforehead.
The 2 tree-house were joined together by a suspension bridge. I think its height is around 15-20 feet above the floor. No wonder they got to limit the number of kids to enter the playground. When I saw little William walked across the bridge, I really felt a little bit nervous about it. I guess those people who looked up their kids there would feel the same too.
Son, this slide is more suitable for you to play, ok?
and every stones, seems perfectly put in the place by proper design.
The Wetland Park is surrounded by several residential skyscrappers. Therefore, we don't feel this is a remote area as it should be.
This little boy was getting fussy at the afternoon time, when it's normally his napping time. Since we have no mood to continue the exploration under the rain anyway, we decided to leave the park at around 2pm.
Due to heavy rain, we could only stay outside for a brief while. We still haven't stepped onto the other facilities like Stream Walk, Succession Walk, Mangrove Boardwalk and Bird Hides that will lead us to venture different habitats of various wildlife. We will do this at winters time, when the weather turns cooler.
