Nature Walk at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort

Last Saturday we have went to “Nature Walk at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort”. In this activity we have learnt how to identifying trees. To identifying the trees can see their tree shape, leaf shape, flower and tree trunk. Beside not just identify the trees it can know also the tree belong to which family. Like Moraceae , Caesalpiniaceae , Cycadaceae , Arecaceae etc… As I remember “Rainbow Shower Tree” is a natural hybrid of two Cassia plants- Pink Shower (Cassia javanica) and Golden-Shower (Cassia fistula). Temple Tree’s flowers are key ingredients of Five-Flower Chinese Herbal Tea. But my favorite trees are “Star Apple” and “Chinese Banyan”. Because the Star Apple’s leaf has two colors, one side is color yellow and one side is color green. It is quite special!
Even though was very hot and tired, but I can still learnt the important of the tree and learnt how to identify the tree. What a wonderful experience that I have~!

自然之旅在迪士尼

經過「自然之旅在迪士尼」這次活動後,相信大家對植物的認識都加深了一大步。在迪士尼義工的帶領下,我們一邊閱讀樹木徑導賞手冊,一邊走過了迎樂路樹木徑,見識了不少樹木,例如彩虹雨樹、蘇鐵、雞蛋花、細葉欖仁和大葉榕等。其中,令我最深刻的是蘇鐵,因為它分為雄、雌兩性,而且那針狀的樹葉,有刺手的感覺,比較特別。
雖然行程只有兩小時,但從迪士尼義工們的詳細講解,我們已學習了不少。我們得到一些獎品,但我認為我們學到的知識比獎品更豐富。希望日後能參與更多這類型的活動,增廣見聞,擴闊視野。
