Clear Water Bay is the best country park I've been so far. It is located in Sai Kung.
I suggest this country park because it is very beautiful at sunset.
I usually fly a kite on the top of the mountains. It is a very relaxing activity.
I also often have a barbecue at a barbecue area, there are many people barbecuing there. It looks very popular.
I enjoy picnicking very much too.
I can eat delicious food such as egg salad sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, and drink soft drinks.
We saw many dogs and wild dogs with no owners. They looked so sad. I wish I could adopt them, but my dad says our house isn't big enough.
I seldom go to this country park, but I like going to this country park very much in my spare time.
thank you all for reading!

I would like to recommend Sai Kung East Country Park which is located on the Sai Kung Peninsula in the east of Hong Kong. It is very suitable for hiking. As most of the landforms and vegetation in this country park have not been affected by development, it has beautiful scenery and numerous scenic spots. Therefore, it has the reputation of Hong Kong's back garden. The High Island Reservoir is one of the most famous scenic spots in the country park which is my favorite place for visiting. It is as calm as a mirror, such as a Xanadu. I am sure it is a great place for friends or family to explore.

I would like to Aberdeen Reservoir because I can barbecue and hiking with my family. It is a favourite among morning walkers and nearly residents. Aberdeen Country Park is the only country park on Hong Kong Island with a picnic area for the physically disabled. Disabled visitors can use the wheelchair trail to explore the countryside and enjoy natural scenery. One day, I played the hopter and rope skipping with my sister, then I ate barbecue food. Suddenly, some wild boars smelled some plastic bags to find food such as bread, meat and vegetables. I was very scared of them. I ran away my daddy back quickly until the wild boars left. I am very happy and tired . I hope I can go to there again. Kayla Wong 4A (26)

Hong Kong Wetland Park

I think that the best place for picnic is Hong Kong Wetland Park because there are a lot of things you can do.  You can play in the children’s playground with your siblings and you can also play hide-and-seek too as the playground there is bigger than you think!

Besides, we can watch animals inside the park.  There are so many different kind of animals including birds · butterflies · dragonflies · crabs and mudskippers.  My favorite animal in Hong Kong Wetland Park is the birds.  They have beautiful feathers and they are really adorable and cute.

I like going to country parks in my spare time because we can breathe some fresh air and spend time with our family.

Hi, I would recommend Tai Tam country park to you because it is a good place for hiking. First, you can visit the fort and there is a blue pretty river next to it. The river water is clear and the air is fresh. Besides, you can see a lot of gorgeous birds when you look up and listen to them singing. How cute they are! 🥰🥰. However, I could not reach the birds as the branches are taller than me.😐 Overall, I really love Tai Tam country park and I hope to bring my friends there in the future.

Aberdeen Country Park (designated on October 28, 1977) is a country park located in the central part of Hong Kong Island, adjacent to Shek Pai Wan in Aberdeen, across the Southern District and Wanchai District. Before the establishment of the Hong Kong Country Park, the site was a pilot country park, which was then called Aberdeen Forest Park. In the season of returning to the earth in spring, the hillside is full of flowers and green leaves, which makes people feel refreshed and happy when they are in it. Thanks for your reading!

I recommend to go to  Tai Tam Country Park because you would be hiking at the heart of Hong Kong. The time is about three hours with attractions like the Jardine‘s Lookout, Tai Tam Reservoir, Mount Park. There are also historical sites, such as Wartime Stoves which were built during World War Two. You can also hike from Quarry Bay to the beautiful beach of Repulse Bay in the south of Hong Kong island.  We can build sandcastles and enjoy the delicious ice cream at the destination.  I enjoy hiking  there because the scenery is wonderful, there are a lot of different species of animals and wildflowers.

Clear Water Bay is a perfect place to go for a picnic.  The scenery is magnificent! There was even a BBQ area!!!🙀  The county park is located in Sai Kung area.  When I went there, it was packed with people!!!  I suggest this country park because we can understand the beautiful nature while we enjoy the happiness, laughter and outdoors.  I often bring a kite to fly in the Kite-flying area but sometimes they are stuck in a tree.😳😳  Indeed I do like going to Clear Water Bay in my spare time, because I think nature is a very beautiful thing but some horrible people chops wood, so GO GREEN!

I recommend Clear Water Bay Country Park, located in Sai Kung District in the southeast of the New Territories.

Today, I would like to introduce the Hong Kong Island's "back garden"- Aberdeen Country Park. This country park is located  in the Southern District on Hong Kong Island. It is one of the oldest country parks in Hong Kong.

Aberdeen Country Park is very big. Visitors can enter Aberdeen Country Park from Aberdeen, Wan Chai or even The Peak. Morning walkers and elders enjoy jogging there. I live near this country park so I can often go there with my family during weekends and holidays. My grandfather said he needed to walk through the park to work in Wanchai from Aberdeen every day in the past. It is such a long way.

Aberdeen Country Park is the only country park on Hong Kong Island with a picnic area for the disabled. Disabled visitors and old people can explore the countryside and enjoy natural scenery like us on their wheelchairs. There is a kiosk in the park. I enjoy buying snacks, drinks and small toys there. There is also a barbecue area nearby. However, due to Covid-19, the area was closed all the time.

I think the most exciting thing to do in the park is to play on the different kinds of fitness training facilities there. My sister and I enjoy playing on the climbing frames and walking on the balancing wooden piles.

There are many amazing things that you can see in the park. You can walk on a bridge and look at the beautiful view of the Aberdeen Reservior. If you are lucky, you can also see some wild animals in the park. You may see a family of wild pigs and some colourful birds. The trees and flowers there are beautiful too.

I think Aberdeen Country Park is one of the most beautiful places in Hong Kong. It is easy to get there. I highly recommend you to go and visit this place in your free time. I am sure you will love this place a lot.

If our school will have a picnic, I will suggest the Plover Cove Country Park in Tai Po. I suggest this country park because the scenery is beautiful beyond description. There are many popular activities we can do in this country park. You can have a hike in the Tai Mei Tuk Family Walk which is about 1 km long. It is suitable for all kinds of people because it only takes you 30 minutes to walk. You can rent a bicycle in the nearby bicycle rental shops. If you don’t like cycling, you can stroll along the path on the main dam in Plover Cove Reservoir. You can have barbecue in the public BBQ site. Next to the reservoir , you can find the Long Mei Beach which is the first artificial beach built by the government. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the magnificent view of sunset. I have been to the Plover Cove Country Park many times. It is spacious and the view is breathtaking. It is a wonderful place to spend a whole day with friends and family.
I hope you enjoy my sharing. Thank you.

Sai Kung East Country Park is designed in 1978. I went there when I was 5 years old. We joined a local tour held by UNESCO Global Geopark. We took a mini bus and spent about half an hour to get there. Once I hopped out of the car, from the high point of view, it was stunning! There’s a High Island Reservoir surrounded by a spectacular embarkment. High Island Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the territory, and the grandest man-made construction within the park. The water is in sky blue and the water surface is so calm and clear. There’s no human activities like swimming, or camping. It looks like just nature made.

Another signature sight seeing point is its S-shaped Hexagonal Rock Columns. The rocks have 140 millions year ago history. The rock columns formed due to volcanic explosion. By looking at the rock columns, the blocks are so huge that I am comparatively so tiny.

The day I went there was in summer.

I would like to go there again in winter because I want to feel the nature in different weather.

Shek O Country Park is the best place for hike and picnic in HK, especially its Dragon's Back. Dragon's Back trail features a magnificent scenic view for a relatively easy hike.

Starting from To Tei Wan Tsuen (140m), you can take some food first. Along the ridge to Shek O Peak, you can enjoy a scenic view of Shek O and the islands beyond. Shek O Peak (284m) is the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the panoramic view of southern Hong Kong Islands.

The trail ends at Big Wave Bay Beach, where will greet your arrival with shimmering white waves against the blue sky.

I recommend Aberdeen Country Park which stands in Aberdeen. I suggest this country park because this place's
flora and fauna are aesthetic and beautiful. Such as : The Rose Myrtle and The Common Kingfisher. There is also a barbecue area that tourists can barbecue delicious food there.
Walking up Aberdeen Reservoir Road along the catchwater, you will soon arrive at a fitness trail with many unusual fitness facilities. Try lifting yourself up on bars of different heights, or test your balancing power on jagged wooden piles. Here in the woods, there is fun for all ages. I would also take photo of the amazing birds .
I am sick of breathing polluted air in the city, so , I am going to this  breath-taking country park this weekend, and so should you!

The Peak is located in the Central and Western Distrist of Hong Kong and is one of the famous tourist attractions in Hong Kong.
We have been there many times and it is a pleasure every time we go.
First, we can see beautiful view of Hong Kong there. There is the best viewing point in Hong Kong, every time we pass by that place ,we will stop and admire it for a long time. The view of Hong Kong from the top of the peak is truly spectacular.
Second, We can enjoy all kinds of plants and flowers on the top of the peak. The peak gives people fresh air to breathe , facilities to do exercises and finally take a rest in benches.
At last, We can go shopping at the top of the peak and taste all kinds of delicious food.
I really enjoy going to the peak, because it is good for health and relaxing. That are the good things about it.

Plover Cove Country Park is a country Park tucked in a border in Shenzhen that has a lot of plants and rocks. But not many people know about this place.
This Country Park has some of Hong Kong's oldest rocks too . So there is a lot of scientists who study rocks there.
This place has some cool things about it like the famous Bride's Pool and a tons of hiking trails of varying difficulty.
This is an amazing Country Park to go to when you are free. This is the end of my sharing. Thank You!

I would like to introdue a country park in Hong Kong, it is Tai Tam Country Park.  Tai Tam Country Park is the largest country park on Hong Kong Island,  I sometimes go there with my family.

We started our hike at about 9AM and we got such beautiful views.  There are several picnic and barbecue areas in Tai Tam Country Park and Tai Tam Country Park.  As you walk along this heritage trail, you can see different types of water works facilities of different ages, including dams, stone bridges, stone aqueducts, water switch houses, raw water pumping stations and staff quarters, most of which are still in good condition. There are introductory signs next to these historical water works buildings. Knowing more about these water works facilities will help you to understand the history of water supply in Hong Kong over the past 150 years.

It is easy to walk and the views are really beautiful.

I would like to recommend Lion Rock Country Park to you . Lion Rock Country Park is a country park, located in the  New Territories. It consists of approximately 5.57 square kilometres of land, including  Lion Rock and Mong Fu Shek and their surrounding scenic hillsides.  Viewed from a distance, it likes a lion sitting with its head facing west, as if to guard Hong Kong.

I suggest this country park, because of its most convenient transport and different facilities. My family likes to go there for jogging and family barbecue gathering.  As we can enjoy ourselves in the parks with different kinds of activities, such as morning walking and hiking. There are jogging trails, morning walker gardens and barbecues sites provided in the park. But you should be careful of some strangers, monkeys, as they always scare you and steal your food too.

I like to visit different country parks in my spare time. It is because I can equip myself through jogging. Moreover, there are some tree walks to let me know more about trees in the park.

I would like to introduce a country park that I believe is the best among all country park in Hong Kong. Shing Mun Country Park is located at Tsuen Wan District of South West of New Territories. Designated in 1977, it was one of the first country parks in the territory. The park covers an area of 1,400 hectares and major facilities include barbecue areas, toilets, kiosk, rain shelter, jogging trail, the Pineapple Dam Nature Trail and a lookout.

It is one of the few country parks surrounded by reservoir with natural beauty scenery. The most relaxing way to experience it is to stroll along the east bank of the reservoir. The jogging trail is family-friendly and suitable for both beginners and experts.

I enjoy so much to visit Shing Mun Country Park with my family for barbecue, hiking and breathing fresh air.

I would recommend Sai Kung East country park. It is famous for its s-shaped hexagonal rock columns and high island reservoir. It’s beautiful beach is also a great attraction. It has the largest number of bays and coves among all country parks. It also has numerous country trails which suit different people. Sheung Yiu country trail is recommended for teenagers as it is an easy level walk that has lovely scenery of inshore islands and bays. Sai Kung is near my home and I can go back home soon after an exhausted walk in country park!

The Hong Kong Park is a beautiful park that has lots of places to take photos, the facility up above is a water-falling space with seats, it's a spot where most people will stop to take pictures when they walk by. ( also, please do not do the same as what the kids are doing, the seats are wet and the same as the floor, it's easy to fall so be careful.)
Near there was the Museum of Tea Ware, inside was filled with all kinds of old and wonderful tea wares. Most of the entrances are near the MTR so it's easy to go there.
I go there every Friday. I would like to go to more parks to discover, would you?

To talk about country parks, my personal favorite one is Shing Mun Country Park, which I want to recommend to you.
Located in the central New Territories, Shing Mun Country Park is a very popular spot for tourists and the perfect place for visitors. People like going there to exercise and explore, especially on nice sunny days!
I suggest you to go there, especially if you like wildlife, because the are a plenty of  cute animals and interesting insects,for example a species called Dichorragia. Dichorragias are big, blue butterflies with black stripes on their wings. I love wildlife, so I went with my family to explore, and guess what? We saw a lot of funny animals, including a monkey, who opened my brother’s backpack smartly, and stole a box of corn, jumped onto the tree and started opening the plastic box that contained the corn! After that, it started looking inside a bag of chocolates! That time I was so scared that I jumped up immediately.
I really liked going there, and I hope you will be inspired by this wonderful country park too!

Tai Mo Shan Country Park is a very large country park surrounding the highest peak in Hong Kong, Tai Mo Shan. We can go there by taking bus number 51 in Tsuen Wan.

The reason I suggest to go to this country park is due to its spectacular panoramic view of the New Territories. On clear days, we can view the Northern and Western New Territories, as well as the Yuen Long and Pat Heung plains. We can even see Shekou and Shenzhen on good days. Also, there are lots of facilities for group outings.

There are campsite and barbecue stoves and we can have barbecues and camping there. We can also join the Tai Mo Shan Orienteering Course to study the natural environment there. In addition, there is an old-styled restaurant offering traditional Chinese Dim Sum and we can try that.

I also go there in my spare time because I love hiking with my relatives.

Have you ever been to Tai Mo Shan country ??
The Tai Mo Shan county park covers an area of 14.40 square kilometres (5.56 sq mi) around Tai Mo Shan.It is located to New Territories.
I suggest this country park because it has one of the highest waterfall in Hong Kong,it is called the Ng Tung Chai waterfall it is 35-meters-tall (115 ft).Furthermore Tai Mo Shan is a haven for a great variety of wildlife, with more than 100 bird species and many butterflies. The region is also rich in snakes. Common species include White-spotted Slug Snake ,
Red-necked Keelback , Bamboo Snake and Common Rat Snake.
I suggest you to fly the kite on Tai Mo Shan because it is very windy there.
I suggest you to bring some warm coats because  Tai Mo Shan is the coldest place in the territory. I love going there if I have free time because I love the fresh air there and the beautiful waterfall.

Aberdeen Upper Reservoir and Aberdeen Lower Reservoir encircled by the country park.
Aberdeen Country Park is one of the oldest country parks in Hong Kong. Inside the park you can find the nature trail, tree walk, kids walk, fitness trail, Tai Chi terrance, a hiking trail, picnic area for the physically disabled and barbecue area.

I would like to introduce a country park that I think it's very great. It's the Shing Mun Country Park. Shing Mun Country Park is very huge. Shing Mun Reservoir is located in Shing Mun Country Park. Shing Mun Country Park is one of the first country parks in Hong Kong, along with Kam Shan Country Park and Lion Rock Country Park.

Shing Mun Reservoir is the largest pond at the foot of Tai Mo Shan, I think it's the most impressive scenic spot in Shing Mun Country Park. There is much to explore in this area, but one of the most refreshing is a walk along the east coast. The path begins at the northern end of the main dam, and the path is close to the waterside and winds along, with beautiful scenery.

My family and I enjoyed breathing fresh air and feeling the soft breeze. I also love to have a picnic next to the main reservoir side. We usually take lots of photos at the Paperbark Tree Corridor, and look at the wonderful view at Viewing Point.

It is always a good time to ride in the evening. The sunsets and the city in transition from daytime to night-time. Also you can watch the Symphony of light at 8pm every day to see the lights on buildings all around Victoria Harbour dance with CNY music and a sightseeing adventure in the sky.

We enjoyed the trip at the Wheel and took many pictures with my family.

Hello everyone, today I would like to introduce an excellent country park, Kam Shan Country Park. This special park is located at Shatin. It was opened in 1977 and there is also a reservoir inside the magnificent  park. But the most famous (and the topic of the introduction) thing is that there are lots and lots of monkeys. even though the monkeys are really adorable, you shouldn't feed or touch them as it will make them angry or lose their hunting skills.

We can take photos of the animals or hike along the pathway.  There are also places for you to relax and have a nice barbecue as there are enormous barbecue sites.

We can hike along the pathway and enjoy the beautiful view.

I really like to go to country park in my spare times with my family. I enjoy it because I can release all my sad emotions by being absorbed by the amazing view. This is the end of my introduction, thank you for reading my passage:)

I would like to suggest Sai Kung East Country Park for our school picnic which is a country park in the east New Territories with you. Sai Kung East country park is such a mammoth area that you cannot watch all the views in one day.

I suggest this country park because​​ there is a lot of beautiful scenery and countless scenic spots. It has the reputation of Hong Kong's back garden. We can go hiking on MacLehose Trail or have a BBQ there.

I like going to the Sai Kung Country Park because my family and I can play hide-and-seek and fly kites there in my spare time.

I would suggest going to Clear Water Bay Country Park for school picnic. It is a good place for relaxing and smelling the fresh air.

The large grassland is good for having a picnic and playing ball. I also like hiking there. There is a short hiking path and benches for looking at the beautiful view of the ocean. You can go to the barbeque site and cook some sausages to eat. You can go find a good spot at the kite flying meadow and fly your kite high up in the sky.

Have you forgotten any thing? Go to the kiosk nearby to buy snacks, kites or a toy airplane which is made of formboard. If you are hot, go to buy an ice cream.

I would like to go to Clear Water Bay Country Park again. Have you been there? Will you go there next time?

I would like to recommend Rotary Park. It is located in Tai Mo Shan Country Park in the New Territories. It has a wide range of facilities such as a barbecue site with benches and tables, refreshment kiosk, camp site and carpark. The area is surrounded by beautiful flowers including Aglaia Odorata, Sweet Osanthus Flower and Micchelia Figo. In March and April, you will find scenery covered in blossom providing good spots for photo-taking. From the park, you can look at the view of Tsuen Wan and Tsing Yi. If we have school picnic there, we can have large space for group games. Also, we can have BBQ! I enjoy going to country parks because I can breathe in more fresh air and hop around.

I would like to suggest Tai Tam Country Park. It is a country park in south of Hong Kong Island. In the park, we can see the amazing dam of the Tai Tam Reservoir. It is a huge dam which helps Hong Kong people to store freshwater.
On clear days, we can see perfect reflections of the hills and bridges on the glassy water surface. We can take great pictures here too!
We can hike along the Hong Kong Trail and take a break at the Quarry Gap before we turn onto the Quarry Bay Tree Walk. At the end of the walk, we can visit the Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre which is highly educational and helps us enrich our knowledge about the biodiversity such as insects and soils of the country park.
I enjoy going to Tai Tam Country Park because we can enjoy the natural scenes and have good hiking experience as well as learn about the nature of Hong Kong with our families and friends. This is the end of my passage, thank you.

Hi everybody! Today I am going to introduce Kam Shan Country Park.It was built in 1977 and the most famous thing is that there are so many monkeys in the country park.

Actually there are also some wild boars although the number are not as many as monkeys. You may not see them when you are hiking in the morning. If you want to see them, you must go there in the evening or at night.
You should not touch them because they will think you want to hurt them and they will attack you.
Thank you

During Lunar New Year, I would recommend you to go Luk Wu Country Trail, which is inside Sai Kung East Country Park. This is a popular hiking trail, but not a beginner one. It is filled with mud, big rocks and quite a lot long stairs which requires a lot of energy. You need about 3.5 hours to finish it and must be exhausted after that.
As a reward, you can see a lot of Chinese Bell Flowers there. It is a special type of flower that always blooms in Chinese New Year. They are so pretty. You just can’t stop taking photos of it.

You can see streams too. There are some big rocks inside which makes it a nice place to rest. It is so relaxing to sit down there, looking at the beautiful natural scenery and hearing the water moving sound.

I have spent a nice day there, hope you can go there with your family next year!

I would like to suggest Aberdeen Country Park. It is a nice place to visit.

It is one of the oldest country parks in Hong Kong. It is in Hong Kong Island, it extends to Wanchai Gap in the north, Black's Link in the east, Peel Rise in the west and Wong Chuk Hang in the south. It includes the Aberdeen Upper Reservoir and the Aberdeen Lower Reservoir.

There are many animals such as wild pigs, birds and squirrels. Aberdeen Country Park also has Aberdeen Tree Centre which is the first thematic education centre featuring trees and promoting tree conservation. I went to there last time and I saw many different kinds of leaves and fruits. The helpers taught me how to observe the plants and trees carefully.

I love to go there with my family in weekends. One time, I visited Aberdeen Country Park with my friends. When we were walking on the road, we saw a wild pig walking on the trail and we took a few pictures of it! I felt a bit scared but I would like to visit the country park and meet the wild animals again!

I would like to suggest Pok Fu Lam Country Park, which is located on Pok Fu Lam.
This country park is surrounded by a beautiful landscape of hills and waters, with views across  Island South, Pok Fu Lam Reservoir and surrounding forests. The country park is very popular with morning walkers. At dawn when the air is fresh, people come to jog, walk, or simply to see familiar faces. To nearby residents, this green haven is a cherished back garden. I like to go to there in my spare time because the view is fantastic.
This is the end of my passage,thank you.

Aberdeen Reservoir

Aberdeen Reservoir is located in Aberdeen Country Park and can be subdivided into Sheung Shui
Pond and Lower Pond. The lower pond was formerly the private pond of Dacheng Paper Mill:
Built in 1890, it provided limited drinking water for the residents of Ap Lei Chau.
It was bought by the Hong Kong government and converted into a public pond to solve the problem of the Hong Kong Uprising
Water supply problem in the West District. Hong Kong government on the pond in 1931
You can add the Aberdeen Upper Reservoir to increase the total capacity of the Aberdeen Reservoir from 48
million cubic meters to about 1.26 million cubic meters. The current water in the upper reservoir
The dam, stone bridge, water control house and lower reservoir dam are declared monuments.
The dam is located in the southern district, but it doesn’t have to start from Aberdeen.
You can also walk to downtown Wanchai. This time we choose Yixiang
Aberdeen Market as the starting point, walk through the Aberdeen Reservoir along the road and then proceed to the Wan
Aberdeen Gorge. Of course, this is just our suggested route, the length of the journey
Thrift is up to the person”, novices can choose to only visit the upper and lower reservoirs and follow the road
Turning back is also possible, or you can choose to exit at Batu Station, Haioulou, Yuguang Village
Fat, save the uphill walk from the market to Aberdeen Reservoir Road
Aberdeen Country Park is flat along the road, and most of the road is shaded by trees.
Absolutely suitable for novices or family tours, I also saw it when I visited

Kam Shan Country Park was the first Hong Kong country park and it’s famous for its many monkeys, as some people may call it Monkey Hill.

It makes a great spot for hikers or people to take photos of the fantastic view of the New Territories. Even though there are cute monkeys in the park, we shouldn’t feed them because if we feed them, they will think that every time a person comes by, the person will also feed them. This will ruin the biophysical environment. Moreover, please be respectful to the nature and don’t throw rubbish all over the ground, we should also bring our own bags to take away our own  rubbish.

Thank you for reading my passage, hope you will have a nice day, bye!

Today I would like to introduce a place that is Cheung Po Tsai Cave and Cheung Chau.  Cheung Chau is a place with a long history, about 53 years old. There are many different delicious food in Cheung Chau, such as mango glutinous rice cakes and fried fish balls.

The Cheung Chau Natural Mines is located in the Cheung Po Tsai Cave. I thought there would be a lot of jewels and diamonds there, but the entry edge is so narrow and damp, actually there's nothing in the cave!

Dragon ‘s back country park Hailey  Tang 4C (20)

# data[].attributes.body
If our school is going on a picnic,I will suggest going to Dragon’ back country park.The air is fresh and it’s not too hot and you can hike while listening to the birds .With the help of shades of the trees , it’s not tiring walking up the hill.When I went there ,the view is fantastic. when the trail naturally ends at Shek O Road, many  hikers grab a taxi or a bus to Shek O Village to hang by the beach, or enjoy some snacks nearby. Short but incredibly scenic, dragon‘ s back is a favorite hike for families and athletic travelers. but its easy accessibility draws a local crowd,too, especially on weekends. plan accordingly, or be prepared to share the views if you come too late as hundreds of people descend on the trail. If there is no time to eat lunch in Shek O, you can easily take a cab to central or Chai WanMTR station. meanwhile ,those who have extra time can continue on to the Tai Tam reservoir, for more green views and fresh air.

Hi today i’m going to introduce Shek Lei Pui Reservoir, it also call Kam Shan Country Park. It covers Kowloon and New territories. It’s very huge. I suggest this country park because there is a lot of cute animals such as monkeys squirrels and birds. But when you go to there you should hide your food because the naughty monkeys will grab them.I will take photos with the monkeys. we can also  have a barbecue there . I enjoyed going to this country Park because it’s can make us feel that there has no pressure.

There are a lot of country parks in Hong Kong, out of all of them, I would suggest Hong Kong Global Geopark.

First of all, the view is amazing and I enjoyed my entire ride getting there.

Secondly, the volcanic rocks there are really  special since they have been there for about 400 to 55 million years ago. There are a lot of main attractions and one of them is the hexagonal column . It’s special since it has a special shape even though it wasn’t made by human and it was naturally shaped like a hexagon.

The S- shaped rock column has a line in between, this is because of crustal movement. After walking on a bridge , you can see this spectacular sea cave, the reason there is a hole is because after a long time of the water hitting the cave, the water slowly takes away some pieces and forms a hole.

I loved visiting this park and I would definitely come here again in my free time!

There are twenty four country parks in Hong Kong. The one I like best recently is Clear Water Bay Country Park.
I suggest this country park because I think it is very suitable for children. It also has lots of facilities for people to enjoy too. Dogs are allowed in this park. This park also provides picnic tables and has public toilets.
I enjoy spending time there because it opens 24 hours a day.  This scenic 615-hectare park offers hiking trails, picnic, recreation areas and swimming beaches.

If you are tired of staying at home. You can relax by spending time in the park instead.

If you have any problems, go ahead and call this phone number : 27190032. Or you can search for more information on this website : http://www.afcd.gov.hk/tc_chi/country/cou_vis/cou_vis_cou/cou_vis_cou_cwb/cou_vis_cou_cwb.html

If you like going to country parks, I would suggest you Tai Tam Country Park.
Tai Tam Country Park is nestled in the eastern corner of Hong Kong Island. From Jardine's Lookout in the north, it sprawls across rolling slopes of The Twins to end at the southern border on Stanley Gap Road. The western border lies in Wong Nai Chung Gap, while Tai Tam Road marks its eastern boundary.

There are 4 reservoirs in Tai Tam Country Park, all of them key water storage facilities of the Island in early years. Known as the Tai Tam Group, it comprises Tai Tam Upper Reservoir, Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir, Tai Tam Intermediate Reservoir and Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir, these reservoirs have an aggregate capacity of 9 million m3. Tai Tam was a bloody battleground during WWII. The invading Japanese met strong resistance from the defending British troops.

# data[].attributes.body
If our school will have a picnic soon, I would suggest going to Tai Tam Country Park. Tai Tam Country Park is in the eastern corner of Hong Kong Island. We can take bus route 6 from Exchange Square in Central to get there. I suggest this country park because the view is very beautiful. There are four reservoirs in the country park. We can have a nice view from the stone dam. We can have barbeque and hiking there as well. I like going to this country park in my spare time because the water is clear and the air is fresh.  We can take beautiful photos.

I would like to recommend Aberdeen Country Park. Aberdeen Country Park is located on the south end of Hong Kong Island near the area called Aberdeen, Hong Kong. Much of the south side of the island is underdeveloped and retains more of the rural feel that predominated on the island before it was settled by the British. The park extends to Wan Chai Gap on the north. The woods in the area are frequented by birds, and are especially a favourite of the black-eared kite which can be seen flying around the two reservoirs. Other birds frequenting the area are the greater coucal, hwamei, magpie-robin, magpie, crested mynah and kingfisher. Occasionally visitors may also catch a glimpse of the pangolin or squirrel. As in Tai Tam Country Park, most of the trees in the Aberdeen Country Park area suffered ravages during the Second World War and the Japanese occupation. The now well-shaded woods are mainly the result of post war re-afforestation as well as natural regeneration of many of the broad-leafed species. The dominant trees in the park are the Brisbane box, schima, gordonia, ivy tree and rose myrtle. So I would like to go there.
thank you

If you like going to country parks, i will recommend you to Victoria Peak Garden.
It is a victorian style garden near the summit of Victoria Peak.The former Mountain Lodge, an alternate residence for the Governor of Hong Kong, was located there, which has since been demolished, but the park remains as an attraction at the Peak. There are a lot of park facilities such as tables and benches, litter bins, shelters and toilets which are carefully designed to blend with the environment.
Footpaths and family walks provide easy access to the hills and the woodlands for visitors to enjoy the scenic beauty. It also offers Hong Kong's most spectacular viewpoint.

I will highly recommend Sai Kung East Country Park if we are going on a school picnic. Sai Kung East Country Park  is designated in 1978 and occupy  a vast area of east Sai Kung Peninsula and High Island Reservoir, High Island, Sheung Yiu, Wong Shek Pier and the surrounding countryside. It should be the best to watch the sunset at west dam! Covering 4,494 hectares of uplands and coasts, it has the largest number of bays and coves among all country parks. Scenic spots within the park are numerous. Examples include the four most famous beaches in Hong Kong ( Sai Wan, Ham Tin Wan, Tai Wan, Tung Wan, and the precipitous Sharp peak ) Other attractions are Po Pin Chau, Long Ke Wan, Luk Wu, Long Harbour and Chek Keng. There is a wide choice of country trails. Some orbit around the coasts, while others travel through rugged and wild terrain. We can hike there!

My favorite country park is Clear Water Bay. It has beautiful views of nature. If you are feeling stressed, I highly recomand you to go to Clear Water Bay. It helps you relax even just looking at it! I have been there twice, once with my friends and once with my family. There is a gorgeous rock called 'Lung Ha Wan Rock Carving' .Some believed that it was carved by men, and the others believed that it was from nature. There is also two beaches in Clear water bay which has shark nets and lifeguards during the summer months and are joined together by a shoreline path. The first beach is smaller than the second one, the second one is ideal for drivers, with metre-parking close by. I like this park because it is very beautiful and special. There are two restaurants in Clear water bay. The first one is called 'St . Barts' and the second one is called'Che Chai Mean'. If you ask me, I like 'St. Barts' more because their decorations are more attracting. The restaurant offers a range of sweet and savory choices, with a well balanced menu of light snacks and meals. When I was 4 years old, my father taught me hoe to swim in Clear Water Bay.I was frightened at first, but then, when I learned how to swim properly, I even taught my uncle! The thing I love most in the beach is that if you see the veiw from far away, it is as pretty as a picture! At sunset, you can see the sun in the horison as it disappears. It was very majestic.

This is the end of my sharing, thank you for reading.

Clear Water Bay is a rural country park which is located in the New Territories of the eastern Hong Kong. The park is located near the beaches in Clear Water Bay.   I like this park because I can fly a kite there and picnic with my family or friends. The view is amazing too! When I was four, I went to Clear Water Bay to picnic. When I arrived, I immediately fell in love with the view. After that day, I always ask my parents to take me there cause we can Barbecue there and swim there. As I don’t know how to swim when I was small, my dad took me to there every Sunday to teach me how to swim.
In history,Clear Water Bay is founded in 1991. It is a bay on the eastern shore of Clear Water Bay Peninsula of Hong Kong, located with Clear Water Bay Country Park. There are two beaches at Clear Water Bay. “Clear Water Bay First Beach”and “Clear Water Bay Second Beach”. The name is also used to discribe the the area around the bay on the peninsula.

I like Clear Water Bay because I can kite there. There is not much space for us to play in Hong Kong. Also, I like to hike. In Clear Water Bay There is a challenging mountain for me to hike, which is the High Junk Peak. I know this mountain is hard to hike but I am also a very experienced hiker. And there are a bunch of butterflies and birds such as Crested Myna, Ceylon Blue Glassy Tiger, and Chinese Bulbul. It is very rare to see them. Finally, I can barbecue there I know that other country parks have a barbecue but there has a beautiful sea view. It feels touching to see the view.

It is also famous for the Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, which is built in 1863.

There are lots of country park in Hong Kong. The most I like is Tai Lam Country Park which is the second highest country park. It is a big area to hike since  there’s 5,412 hectares in total. Tai Lam Country Park is designed in 1979. It encompasses a vast area extending from Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun. The boundaries lie along Route Twisk in the east; the countryside north of Tuen Mun Highway in the south; Shek Kong, the Ho Pui Catchments and Tai Tong in the north; and Tuen Mun and Lam Tei Reservoir in the west. Commenced in 1951, this monumental project included the major task of constructing a main dam. The magnificent enclosure was the most impressing concrete structure in Hong Kong at the time. Towering 150 ft above the lake, it boasts pipelines that cover the entire Kowloon Peninsula to link up with the territory-wide water supply network. There’s full of animals and fresh air, we can hike there comfortably to make our body healthier.

Do you like to go to country parks?If yes,I would recommend Jinshan Country Parks for you nature fans!
Jinshan Country Park is located north of Kowloon and well known for its monkeys.They have four reservoirs and a prepossessing view, like Kowloon reservoir as an example, and it has what a normal country park should have: jogging trails, barbecue areas and places for picnic, which is easily accessible from Tai Po Road.
Since Jinshan Country Park is famous for its monkeys…it’s not a surprise that monkeys are common in this areas,so monkey fans are also welcome here. However,bear in mind that since people visit here often,they are used to being not scared of humans and stealing their belongings.I advise you to be careful around your surroundings .
As for its history,Jinshan Country Park was established and made on 24th June,1977 and was also known as Monkey hill.
In my opinion, the park is not only easy to hike,giving the visitor a satisfying experience,it even got a nice view. If you’re bored and want to go a country park,then this is it!

I recommend Shing Mun Country Park which is located in Shing Mun, the area is between Tseun Wan and Sha Tin, in the New territories. I suggest this country park because the Shing Mun Arboretum with rich plants resources is a wonderful place
To appreciate Hong Kong’s flora.

You can visit the Pineapple Dam Nature Trail, it is a perfect spot to view the sunsets, great stunning scenery, taking pictures of the energetic monkeys, having a picnic. The catchwater is 9km long as well as the the catch sight of macaque. You can also have a leisurely walk and experience something on the nature side.

In my imaginations, Shing Mun country park is the most peaceful country park I’ve been to in Hong Kong, a beautiful place filled with animals and scenic scenery.

I would like to recommend Lung Fu Shan Country Park which locates in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong. Morning walkers and hikers can immerse themselves in the sight and sounds of nature.

We can visit the Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre that promotes the exploration of nature and encourages the public to practise a sustainable lifestyle. As you walk along Pik Shan Path, you will arrive at the Pinewood Battery which has World War II defences. After you walk for 30 minutes, you will reach the Peak Trail and see the marvelous scenery of Victoria Harbour.

Have you ever been there? I think it is the most pleasant and beautiful country park in Hong Kong.

I recommend Kiu Tsui Country Park at Port Shelter of Sai Kung. I’ve never been to this park, but I saw a lot of pictures of it on the Internet and I’m fascinated by its scenic beauty.

There are barbecue sites and a beach with crystal water and silver sand, making it a great place to visit in the hot summer. There are also various native tree species, for example Horsetail Tree and Chinese Banyan.

I like going to country parks because it’s comfortable to feel the light breezes. These parks are spacious enough for my friends and I to fly a kite, run around or simply enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Among the 24 country parks in Hong Kong, Shek O Country Park is definitely my favourite. I love the place mainly because it provides various activities for visitors with similar interests.

Hikers can take time to admire the breathtaking views of the mountains when they walk along the hiking trials. The enormous trees offer the best shade to keep hillwalkers cool, especially in summer. There is a relaxing sitting area for those who need to have a break. They may also walk up to the peak and appreciate the panoramic landscape of Hong Kong. As for picnic lovers, they will certainly be impressed by the barbecue facilities and picnic areas.

I highly recommend this lovely Park to all of you!

I would suggest Tai Mo Shan Country Park which borders Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve in the east and Shing Mun Country Park in the south.

We can visit the exhibition gallery there to learn about nature conservation and resources conservation. This is also one of the only places in Hong Kong to experience frost regularly. The combination of mist and frost creates a stunning visual spectacle well worth the effort.

I would definitely go there in my spare time. As the highest peak in Hong Kong, the park offers many vantage points to enjoy breathtaking landscapes of the New Territories and walks that are suitable for family hikes.

I personally would like to suggest Sai Kung East Country Park as the destination for the school picnic. The major reason that I chose this place is it’s such a mammoth area. It has a vast 4,494 hectares. It  encompasses everything that’s great about natural Hong Kong such as beautiful beaches, hiking trails, grassy slopes, hills and coves. Don’t expect to come and do it all in one day.

I really enjoy the time spent in the country parks. The Parks give people fresh air to breathe, facilities to do exercises and finally take rest in Benches.  This gives peace of mind and relaxation to all of us.
