National Park
3. Limitations in Hong Kong :
• As we know, Hong Kong is a much smaller place. There are no national parks, only country
parks and playgrounds. It is difficult for teachers to organise life-wide learning activities for
students outside school, because country parks or open areas suitable for outside learning
activities are inadequate in Hong Kong.
• The facilities in country parks are limited when compared with those in Finland. We found
that the government does not do much planning on how to conserve the environment. The
management of the country parks is not perfect.
• For example, the Shing Mun Reservoir Country Park is a good place for hiking and sight-
seeing. But nowadays, problems with the large numbers of monkeys make visitors reluctant
to go there. Teachers would not take students since they may be scared by the hungry
monkeys.
• We hope our students learn to conserve the environment and enjoy, respect and coexist
effectively with nature.
