     The Countryside Conservation Office (CCO) under the Environment and Ecology Bureau will launch a roving exhibition entitled “Explore the Enchanting Countryside” tomorrow (February 20) to showcase the culture and natural ecology of Hong Kong’s countryside areas, encourage the public to explore the beauty of Hong Kong’s countryside villages, and enhance public understanding and awareness of countryside conservation.
 
     The exhibition has incorporated traditional design elements of revolving lanterns to vividly present the stories of countryside revitalisation and ecological conservation. The exhibition comprises five zones, namely the Countryside Indulgence zone, showcasing scenery of the countryside; the Architecture for Village Revitalisation zone, presenting the aesthetics of village architecture; the Agricultural Land Rehabilitation zone, offering an experience of farming culture; the Wonders of Biodiversity zone, providing an opportunity to learn about Hong Kong’s wildlife; and the Ecological Conservation zone, which allows visitors to explore wetland birds.
 
     Visitors can view architectural models, participate in lively and entertaining virtual reality games and parent-child games, learn about culture and natural habitats in countryside areas in an interactive manner, as well as take pictures in the photo-taking zones.
 
     The roving exhibition will be held from tomorrow to February 25 at L1 Area A, D·PARK, and from February 27 to March 3 at 1/F, Stars Atrium, Plaza Hollywood, from noon to 8pm.
