荔枝窩（Lai Chi Wo）

#In-depthTravel in Hong Kong Located in the Plover Cove Country Park in the northeast of the New Territories, Lai Chi Wo is a Hakka village with a history of over 400 years. The village is built on the mountain with its back to the sea and a large number of original stone houses and ancestral hall buildings are preserved, and the traditional village layout is completely preserved. After years of conservation and revitalization, Lai Chi Wo has now become a model for promoting sustainable development and eco-tourism. There are many educational trails in the village, introducing the ecology of mangroves, river wetlands, butterflies and birds. In particular, the villagers cooperate with non-profit groups to carry out agricultural restoration plans and ecological tours, allowing tourists to personally participate in rice planting, harvesting or traditional handicraft production. During festivals, there are also dragon and lion dances and Hakka pot dishes, showing the deep community cohesion. Lai Chi Wo is not only the result of cultural conservation, but also a practice of the concept of "coexistence between man and nature". Coming here, you can not only appreciate the natural beauty, but also truly experience the history and vitality of Hong Kong's countryside.
