Built on the hill of Shui Ngau Ling of 30 metres high, the aviary
pagoda is the highest structure in its surroundings and the landmark
of the Yuen Long Park. The 7-storey pagoda is red in colour and
of Chinese architectural style. At the top level of the pagoda,
visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of all Yuen Long Town as well
as a fine distant view of Ping Shan, Ha Tsuen, Shap Pat Heung and
the new town of Tin Shui Wai.
The lowest storey of the pagoda is converted into an open aviary,
the first of its kind. The open aviary at the bottom of the pagoda
has a floor area of 85 square metres and is planted with various
kinds of trees, shrubs and potted plants in order to imitate the
wood environment and provide a shelter for the birds, which is similar
to their natural habitat. |
