石牆樹公園

Scenes

谷主看著石牆上的樹木總擔心它會跌下來．它的樹冠會越來越大，樹根位置又不能擴展，它如何可以支撐自己呢？

到了石牆樹公園，最好拿起相機，在眾多樹根中穿梭，考驗自己取景判斷能力．那一個角度可以把樹木拍攝得好，表現它的美感，相當考功夫．

There are 14 「old and valuable」 Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa) in King George V Memorial Park.  It can be considered a record.  There is a total of 33 wall trees; 27 of them are Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa), five are Big Leaf Fig (Ficus virens var. sublanceolata) and one Chinese Hackberry (Celtis sinensis). It is the center of wall trees in Hong Kong.

I am always concerned that these stone wall trees will fall down.  While the crown grows bigger, the roots have nowhere to expand.  How can it uphold itself?

If you are going to there, you』d better bring along a camera. Shuttle among the numerous roots and test your ability to find good shooting spots.  To take good pictures from an appropriate angle and reveals its beauty does require quite some skills.
