Discover the Ecology and Culture of Mui Tsz Lam and Kop Tong Through a Self-guided Experience
The “Forest Roaming” mobile application offers a self-guided
exploration experience that combines smart technology with on-site
interaction, allowing visitors to journey through the three Hakka
villages of Lai Chi Wo, Mui Tsz Lam, and Kop Tong in the Sha Tau Kok
area. Through the app, users can explore the region’s rich natural
ecology and experience the unique culture and everyday life of Hakka
villages.
Key Features:
- Self-guided Tour and Interactive Map
Using the location-based map, visitors can freely explore Lai Chi Wo, Mui Tsz Lam, and Kop Tong at their own pace. Information panels highlighting historical and cultural heritage, natural ecology, and art and cultural features are available throughout the villages, making it easy to learn more about each place along the journey.
- Orienteering Game "Forest Village Explorer"
Different game routes are available for visitors to choose from according to their available time and walking ability. Participants can travel to designated checkpoints and complete challenges along the way. Those who reach a certain score may even receive prizes. Through immersive exploration of the villages, participants are encouraged to experience the natural atmosphere and cultural character of the Forest Village, and become guardians of the landscape themselves.
- Activity Highlights
The app introduces the latest activities and programmes organised by the project, allowing visitors to easily join upcoming events and participate in the co-creation of village culture and ecology.
- Photo Sharing -- Share Your Best Memories of Kop Tong and Mui Tsz Lam
In addition to browsing photographs shared by other visitors, users are welcome to upload and share their own memorable moments from their journeys through the villages.
Beyond these features, the “Forest Roaming” app also provides easy access to a wide range of information about the project and the villages, encouraging everyone to learn about, appreciate, and help protect the Forest Village together.
Bluetooth Sensor Devices
While exploring Lai Chi Wo, Mui Tsz Lam, and Kop Tong, you may notice delicate little boxes hanging at different locations throughout the villages. Though small in size, these devices contain many thoughtful functions and stories behind their design.
*Note: The Bluetooth sensor devices operate remotely and contactlessly. Please do not touch the devices, in order to maintain stable operation and minimize disturbance to wildlife, including insects currently using the nearby insect hotels.
