As Hong Kong emerges from the third wave of COVID19, we need to keep building our resilience both physically and mentally. Let’s venture more into nature for its healing power. In this podcast series, we explore the natural environments in HKU’s neighborhood.
In this pilot episode, we explore the history, the ecology, and the natural beauty of Lung Fu Shan, a country park next to the University of Hong Kong.

Building resilience with nature on Lung Fu Shan (龍虎山), HKU’s “Backyard Hill”
In Cantonese, Lung Fu Shan (龍虎山) means the “dragon and tiger hill”. Do you know where does this name come from? What kind of endangered species can be found in the Lung Fu Shan Country Park? How’s hiking like in Lung Fu Shan? How should we deal with wild animals when hiking? We talked to Angela Chan, project officer from 龍虎山環境教育中心 Lung Fu Shan Environmental Education Centre and two hikers who regularly visit the mountain.
