Hi Steemit friends,

First of all, I want to say thank you to all my followers who upvoted and left messages on my CELEBRATING 200+ FOLLOWERS post. I am really appreciate it.As I discovered my interest in photography and have devoted my love to nature, my friend recommended a place in Yuen Long to me. Today, I am taking you to there, Yuen Long Park. In order to present the beauty of the natural forest land in front of the visitors, landform and most of the trees are preserved.

Steemit的朋友大家好，首先我想謝謝我的支持者，你們的心意我收到了，謝謝你們的留言和upvote，我會繼續努力寫更多好文給大家！元朗公園是我今天跟你分享的地方。最近我開始學習拍照，同時我也很喜歡大自然，我的朋友推薦了元朗公園這個拍照好地點給我。這個依山而建的公園，建園前是一個天然林地，為了呈現林地最原始美麗一面給遊客，大部份的樹木和原來地形都保存下來。

Here's the map of the Park, there are many facilities including gateball court, soccer pitch, artificial lake etc..

這裡是公園的地圖，園內有很多設施，包括足球場，草地門球場，人造湖等。

But the most eye-catching Chinese architectural building is a Aviary Pagoda located on the top of a hill. It makes me think of the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple in Shanxi, China that the architectural designs are very similar. It serves as an aviary at its lowest level and a viewing deck in its upper level.

但最吸睛的是園內心臟地帶，具有中國建築特色的百鳥塔，這個塔讓我想起山西的應縣木塔，他們的建築設計非常相似。百鳥塔的最低層是鳥舍，上層則是觀景台。

Here's how it looks from outside.

我們來看看這個百鳥塔，是不是很有中國建築特色？

The lower level is an Aviary that over 100 different species of birds live in.

低層是鳥舍，多達百多隻不同種類的鳥類居住在這𥚃。

A hill myna (also known as Gracula religiosa) greets the visitor by saying "get away" and " what's wrong with you" in Cantonese LOL. I was quite surprised when she say hello to me. Hill myna is a animal that good at learning human voice and reproduce it accurately and clearly.

最讓我驚喜的是這隻小鷯哥，當日他跟我說了 “行開啦！（走開！）”跟 “做乜野呀你？（幹嘛啊你？）”，看來它不太歡迎我喔！鷯哥(學名：Gracula religiosa)是一種善於學習人類語言的鳥類，可準確清晰地摸仿不同的音調。

Walking to the upper level, I found the place that my friend recommended to me. This photo is a bottom-up view of the stairs. I love the white and blue combination of these stairs and contrast of the light and shadow.
