View Larger Map

  Remember the last time we mentioned about the Hong Kong Wetland Park which is a natural heritage? This time, I want to share some more photos and videos about the Mudskippers and the flibber crabs in the park. The Mudsskippers are lovely and interesting. Hope all of you will love it!!

The day we went to the HK Wetland Park is a pretty sunny day and we went here by Sunny's car!! =p

 

We took many photos that day and in the photo, you can see our team members Jerry and Mandy Suet. Jerry is a Canon cameras supporter!!

The below photo is Fung. He loves his Canon 550D very much. Can you see he is smiling to his camera!?

Here is the main entrance of the park. Can you see Jerry (in white T-shirt) in the right hand side photo =D?

We buy 6 student tickets for HK$15 each!!

Now, we come to the real wetland, we can observe the Mudskippers on the wood bridge! Let see the video below:

You can see the Mudskippers and fiddler crabs on the wetland, isn't it interesting? =))

Here is the narrative about the Mudskipper and the Fiddler crab:

Male fiddler crabs have one claw that is much bigger then the other. They wave this claw to signal to a mate, and warn other males to keep away from their burrow.

This fish uses its front fins to walk or hop along the mud when the tide is out. During courtship or when threatened, it can leap with a flick of its powerful tail.

After we had visited the Mudskippers & the crabs, we went to see the butterflies. Since the land in the Wetland Park is fertilized so many flowers grow brilliantly on the ground and butterflies love it and being attracted! Please enjoy the video =))

Q: And again, we have a question time. I'm Tommy, the phototaker of this posts. Do you know what is my camera model?

A. Nikon P5100

B. Canon P5100

C. Olympic P5100

We went to Hong Kong Wetland Park on last Monday.

It is located in Tin Shui Wai, next to the greatest ecological resources- Mai Po Natural Reserve, one of the natural heritage in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong Wetland Park is not a heritage, it themed as a green attraction and educational outing for us to learn more about our natural heritage of wetlands.

When we arrived there, we were amused by the spectacular view of the Park. It was such a large area surrounded by green trees and blue rivers. Together with the windy and sunny weather, we all felt relaxed to start our journey.




















Generally, the Park consists of three areas - visitor facilities, Wetland Interactive World and Wetland Reserve.

We began with visiting the Wetland Reserve.

There were wide range of trees and animals that we had never seen before. Let's take a brief look of what we'd seen.






















































































































Next, we went to the Wetland Interactive World, where photo-taking is prohibited. The World interacts guests by illustrating models and playing videos and games, so that we can learn much more about the characteristics of wetlands.

Overall, I really enjoy my moments in HK Wetland Park. Hardly can we experience the natural habit in our living areas, the fresh air and green environment are worthwhile to spend a morning or an afternoon there.

If you are tired of your busy life or full of pressure, I highly recommend you to go to Hong Kong Wetland Park.

Thanks Mandy for providing the photos.

Let's get ready~~~~!!!!!

If you want to take some beautiful photos in Hong Kong Wetland Park, we must prepare well before. A professional camera is needed! Let's see what kinds of camera we would bring!!!!!

Here's my camera>>>>>

Sony a33






It must be girls' favourite because the size of the camera is really small and light. It just weight 433g (battery is not include). It's not that difficult to bring it out!

Many people think that DSLR is difficult to use and take some beautiful picture since you need to adjust many things like ISO, White balance, shutter, etc. However, you don't need to worry about that if you use a33. It installed iauto function, it helps you to take photos as easy as digital camera, but better quality!

The AF function is very fast so that you can catch what you see every moment. The new technology: translucent mirror highly improve the speed of shutter and speed of the auto focus of the camera. It can take maximum 7 fps in continuous advance priority AE!

Also, it can record full HD (AVCHD 1920 x 1080) video. It's really multi-functional!
