Twilight Tour: Mui Wo Eco-Adventure
Slow Food Hong Kong, in collaboration with the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce (Hong Kong & Macau), proudly announce the upcoming eco-tour in Mui Wo for this autumn. Presented by the Land Education Foundation, the exclusive English tour will venture into the ecological hub of south Lantau to explore the abandoned farmlands. From before to after twilight, our tour guide will open our eyes to creatures such as buffaloes, birds, butterflies and spiders inhabiting Mui Wo. We will also visit Grassland Farm, where farmer Chau will introduce his organic farming practice.
Ecologist and guide Ray So received his bachelor degree in ecology at HKU. He specialises in surveying and studying different wildlife taxa both locally and abroad. He has more than 10 years’ experience in organising eco expeditions in HK, the Americas, Australia and Southeast Asia. His book, entitled Amphibians and Reptiles in Hong Kong, was published in 2015. He also promotes nature conservation in TV, radio, magazine and newspaper interviews.
