Dear my friend,

For me,this place is a secret garden for me to relax.In there,i felt peacful and wonderful!!!
Moreover, it is a Hong Kong’s last piece of "pure land’.
You can do everything here - picnic,playing party game with friends,cycling,take a nap on the grassland,etc.
This place is important for me and Hong Kong people to escape from urban area and feel the nature!!! 
It provided me a chance to try traditional cable boat.
And it let me know the ecology of wetland and mangroves in there.

This secret place is very important to many Hong Kong people to feel the nature.We should not miss it.
