龍虎山 Lung Fu Shan

地點介紹 Site Description

龍虎山在薄扶林北面,是龍虎山郊野公園的所在地。區內主要為茂密樹木,當中有一片松樹林,內有松林廢堡郊遊區及松林廢堡歷史徑。廢堡本為松林炮台,於香港淪陷時被破壞,後開闢成景點。

龍虎山靠近市區,卻擁有多樣化的生物,鳥類品種非常豐富,有超過115種,此外也有不少兩棲類動物。

龍虎山環境教育中心於2008年由環境保護署及香港大學合作成立,除了設有展覽外,還舉辦導賞團。

Lung Fu Shan is located to the north of Pok Fu Lam and is where Lung Fu Shan Country Park is situated. The park is mainly woodlands. Among the woods are a piece of pine woodland, where the Pinewood Battery and the Pinewood Battery Heritage Trail are situated. The battery was heavily damaged during the Battle of Hong Kong and renovated later into an attraction.

Despite being close to urban area, Lung Fu Shan has a high biodiversity. There are more than 115 recorded bird species, and quite a number of amphibian species.

The Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre was established jointly by the Environmental Protection Department and Hong Kong University in 2008. Apart from exhibitions, the centre also organises guided tours.
