More about the tour
Spend a lovely spring’s afternoon with NGO partner Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve, frequented by over 90% of Hong Kong’s astounding c.240 species of butterflies. Learn to recognize species and their behaviours, hear about impacts of climate change and conservation efforts taken, have a cuddle with the Reserve’s 3 extraverted resident celebrity dog ambassadors, see how you can turn your home into a welcoming stop-over for migrating butterflies, some may come from as far as Japan!
You will meet up at Kowloon Park, formerly Whitfield Barracks which housed British-Indian garrisons (hence the mosque next to it for troops’ worship) before being redeveloped into a leisure space in the 1970s. Today you’re likely to find people stealing a breather from demanding bosses or battling it out on AR mobile games. En route to Fung Yuen, enrich your Instagram account with some tasteful locomotive nostalgia at the Hong Kong Railway Museum. Originally the site of Tai Po Market Railway Station, this gem of an open-air museum features iconic pieces like Diesel Engine No.51 – a.k.a. “Sir Alexander”, the first diesel engine ever to run in Hong Kong in 1955.
*Lunch and hassle-free coach transportation to and from Tsim Sha Tsui are included.
