About :

Quote:

In Shiu Tau Tsuen and Shiu Mei Tsuen of Kam Tin, unique monuments such as Yi Tai Study Hall, Pin Mo Kiu, Ching Lok Tang Kung Chi, Cheung Chun Yuen and Kam Tin Tree House are clustered together within a few minutes’ walking distance. Some say the Kam Tin Tree House was a study hall with a banyan tree beside. Since the owner of the house left and never returned, the banyan tree grew bigger and bigger and finally completely enveloped the house with its heavy aerial roots and trunks.

    Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) spreads over 148 hectares of land and is located on the northern slopes and foothills of Hong Kong's highest mountain - Tai Mo Shan. Its deep-set valley has streams, woodlands and vegetable terraces - together with conservation and education facilities.

    The Farm was established in 1956 to provide agricultural aid to farmers in need of support to help them lead independent lives. Today, reflecting the changing times, KFBG plays an active role in promoting the conservation of biodiversity in Hong Kong and South China, allied with sustainable agriculture and creative nature education.
