Ma Wan Park is an innovative new concept in Hong Kong by Sun Hung<br />

Kai Properties, with 18 hectares full of greenery <strong>and</strong> natural l<strong>and</strong>scaping.<br />

A Nature Garden is one of the attractions in the first phase, to be followed<br />

by exhibits such as Noah’s Ark <strong>and</strong> a Solar Tower. <strong>The</strong> second phase<br />

Ma Wan Old Village will be another tourist attraction with its culinary<br />

delights <strong>and</strong> cultural elements.<br />

Nature Garden spans 5.6 hectares with elements on the themes of<br />

nature, learning, arts <strong>and</strong> love in thee Rainbow Wall, Sweet Garden,<br />

Golden Mean Plaza, Windmill Station, Liberal Learning Centre, Hilltop<br />

Lookout <strong>and</strong> Heritage Centre. It was planned as a natural environment<br />

for interactive learning where it allows visitors to see nature close up.<br />

Renewable energy systems promote the conservation of resources <strong>and</strong><br />

sustainable development.<br />

(1) Renewable Energy<br />

<strong>The</strong> Garden’s Windmill Station developed with the Hong Kong<br />

Polytechnic University demonstrates renewable energy with solar, wind<br />

<strong>and</strong> hybrid power systems, geothermal coupling, biomass energy, biofuel<br />

technology <strong>and</strong> hydroelectric power. <strong>The</strong> systems supply some<br />

on the Park’s power requirements; cutting down on pollution from<br />

conventional power generation. <strong>The</strong>y also collect r<strong>esearch</strong> data for<br />

education <strong>and</strong> promote conservation.<br />

(2) Heritage Conservation<br />

A Heritage Centre built in a restored village school teaches visitors<br />

about cultural history <strong>and</strong> the importance of heritage conservation.<br />

Educational displays include a Tang dynasty lime kiln, Qing dynasty brick<br />

kiln <strong>and</strong> replicas of late-neolithic human remains found on Ma Wan.<br />

(3) Relationship with Nature<br />

An extensive wooden boardwalk was installed with minimal disturbance<br />

to the natural topography, vegetation <strong>and</strong> ecosystem to demonstrate<br />

the possibilities for green initiatives in building design.<br />

(4) Leisure, Love <strong>and</strong> Education<br />

<strong>The</strong> Nature Garden is an oasis of beauty <strong>and</strong> harmony <strong>and</strong> a living<br />

classroom for all ages in a natural outdoor setting incorporating learning<br />

with experts providing education on personal development, society<br />

<strong>and</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> science, technology <strong>and</strong> the environment. This provides<br />

children with a natural environment to enjoy all-round learning through<br />

a series of interactive programmes.<br />
