Tuen Mun Park-- an oasis in the town centre


Today is a public holiday in Hong Kong, my family and I took a walk in Tuen Mun Park after having Yum Cha in a chinese restaurant. Tuen Mun Park is located at Tuen Mun Town Centre. The park provides a restful and recreational place to the residents in Tuen Mun. It is an ideal leisure haunt for a family to spend the Sunday there. There is variety of facilities in the park. For example, children can play in the playground and roller-skating rink. Moms take rest with their toddlers under the leafy shade. Some amateurs bring their chinese musical instruments like erhu to perform in the amphitheatre, the elders walk along the big artificial lake. There is also a model boat pool, visitors bring their electric driven boats to play. They can have a small game with other model boat lovers too. All of these form a harmonic scenery in the park Nevertheless, this time I felt a little disappointed since the Reptile House was closed (not sure if it is under reconstruction or due to the autumn-winter seasons?) I remember there're various species of reptiles including turtle and lizard, visitors can learn more about them. I must pay a visit when it reopens again.
