Event details

In this event, members of the World Wide fund for Nature Hong Kong (WWF) will provide a guided tour, student ambassadors of One City One Book HKwill introduce the eco-writing of the Hong Kong writer Ng Hui Bun (Xubin). Let’s connect with literature and the natural landscape!

We invite participants to visit the 115-year-old official accommodation of the Chief Commander of the New Territories during the colonial times, now used as the WWF Island House Conservation Studies Centre. Some architectural features were designed for efficient energy use and to merge with the natural environment. These would encourage you to re-consider how to save energy in your modern household. Adjacent to the main building is an English-style arboretum featuring 140 native and unusual plant species.  Venturing to the foot of the hill, participants will see the mangrove, sandy and rocky shoreline as well as a helipad. Apart from searching for sea lives for observation, it is also a chance to reconsider how to use the rich coastal resources in a sustainable way.

Remarks:

-No car parking is available at Island House.
