On 11 June 2007, it wasn't a super hot day but really it was not included the time at 12:00pm. I got down to check where the Hong Kong Wetland Park is and how cheap & direct way to there I could take in the morning. To streamline our trip, I phoned to Bus Services Hotline and asked about what number bus to there I should take. Taking this opportunity, I wanna thank to the sincere staff taking the time to help me with this........he led me into a direct way to take the bus (KMB Bus No. 265B) at the Bus Stop in Wong Tai Sin. Many thanks to the staff!

As a matter of fact, it is an unique way to go to Tin Shui Wai Town, and it is relatively cheap than other traffic tools. At about 11:00am, we had started travelling a bus trip for approximately 45 to 55 minutes to Tin Shui Wai Town, and then reached the Hong Kong Wetland Park by a 5 minute taxi-trip.

Perhaps I have never taken time to explore Hong Kong's lovely wetlands, however it was a matching time for me to experience and cherish the natural life with my mother there. Speaking of this visit, I was thus educated to understand more on the importance of wetland conservation and got familiar with the interesting wetland wildlife in Hong Kong.

The picture above shows my mother who was standing in front of the Information Board for a memorial photo.

Let's go for understanding more about the centre facilities provided at Hong Kong Wetland Park. The Park is located at the northern part of Tin Shi Wai District, and it is a 60-hectare wetland reserve, facilities for vistors include theatre, resource centre, souvenir shop, stream walk, three bird hides, and Pui Pui house..etc.

Souvenir Shop-

I bought 3 numbers of T-shirts from the souvenir shop, one for me, two shirts for kid size, all items to be sold for visitors are inexpensive and reasonable.

Riverside lead us to venture different habitats of various wildlife, I saw different fishes and plants, colorful and beautiful insects, birds and wonderful scene there. Do you want to take more beautiful pictures of nature? Go there with your family, you can find out more about it!

Pui Pui's House

Salt water crocodile " Pui Pui" was first found at Shan Pui River in north west new terrorities of hong kong on 2 November 2007.

Pui Pui is a well-known crocodile in Hong Kong, no one knows where she came from. It was suspected that she might be an illegal pet escaped from her owner's home or was dumped into the river after she grew too big.

As you may know that the naughty crocodile escaped from corc-hunters from Austrilia and China, but eventually fell into a trap made by government staff.

In fact, Pui Pui is benefiting from the Hong Kong Wetland Park because she is an illegal pet and is a lucky crocodile in Hong Kong. She has sorted out already all difficulties in housing problem, she had no need to pay 10 to 20% of first-term payment for her new accommodation (我希望她日後不會成為銀主盤啦!).

The picture shows Pui Pui the crocodile was basking in the sunshine..
