HKG236: Hong Kong Wetland Park

on saturday, we spent the morning working on move-related stuff, and then we headed out to check out the HK wetland park in an area called tuen mun. tuen mun is in what's called the new territories...it's not on HK island...it's much further north...just a little south of the border with mainland china.

it took us a crazy amount of transpo to get there...we switched trains three times after riding the apt. shuttle into central. once we got out there though, it was pretty magical. tuen mun is considered rural, which made us laugh because while there's not much commercial stuff in the area, it's still full of umpteen high-rise apartment buildings and lots of schools.

the area around the wetland park is pretty much a jungle. it was gorgeous. there's a very large indoor education center with a store and restaurant as well as an indoor playscape. beyond that is a nice nature path that wanders through the wetland park. since we are still recovering from our beijing trip, we didn't go all the way to the end of the park, but we did go through a good ways before calling it quits and heading home. it was a long, but fun day!
