— Attractions —
Sheep Baa Baa Bee Farm (includes fresh honey tasting):
- There are not many beekeepers in Hong Kong. The bee farm we visit is located in the middle of Tai Po Lam Village, Hongmei Valley, Tai Mo Shan, and other large forest areas. There are many trees and flowers, which are suitable for bees to collect nectar. According to the owner of the bee farm, there are only a few flowering periods in Hong Kong where honey can be collected throughout the year. In March, there is mountain nectar, which clears the heart and moistens the throat. From April to June, longan and lychee honey are collected mainly. Longan and lychee honey can reduce phlegm and relieve cough, promote sleep and digestion. There are also small rabbit gardens and seasonal orchards in the field, suitable for both adults and children.
Starfish exploration:
- The active season begins in May every year, and it is extremely fun to explore starfish! Lung Mei Beach in Tai Po has been designated as a site of special scientific interest by the Fisheries and Conservation Department. It is also the fourth largest mangrove forest in Hong Kong. When the tide recedes, life is everywhere here. In addition to mangroves, you can also glimpse bamboo shoot snails, scroll snails, long-armed crabs, sea anemones, and starfish on the mudflats along with clams, oysters, and other elements of wonderful marine life. This wonderful journey of ocean exploration is perfect for bringing children on!

- Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve is one of the earliest nature reserves in Hong Kong. There are over a hundred species of trees in the nursing area, and there are even rare towering giant trees. There are more than ten different kinds of birds and animals in the area, making you feel like you are in a primeval forest.
