想要感受绿意同时欣赏珍贵的自然历史遗产,不妨到位于荃湾的「如心园木化石公园」。这个近日新开的园区占地约70,000平方呎,是全亚洲现存拥有最大规模木化石藏品的城市公园,其中分为户外园区和木化石体验馆两大展区,展示了逾100件珍贵博物馆级木化石!
当树木因埋藏环境缺乏氧气而不致腐烂,并受含丰富矿物地下水的长期渗透,原有的木质纤维慢慢被硅质矿物所取代,形成木化石,而如心园内的稀有木化石来自印尼西爪哇,可追溯至260万至530万年前的上新世时期,相当珍贵。
In the heart of the garden, the longest “Sun Stone” measures about 30 meters, making it the seventh longest petrified wood in the world. The “Moon Stone,” measuring about 25 meters, is set against a volcanic backdrop and is accompanied by smoke devices, special sound effects, and lighting effects in the evening, simulating the eruption of Mount Krakatoa in Indonesia! The garden also features a heart-shaped “Ru Xin Stone,” a “Victory Stone” transformed from tree branches, an “Anniversary Stone” made up of tree trunks of various sizes, and a “Graduation Stone” adorned with metal ribbons. These unique shapes symbolize different milestones in life and carry significant meanings.
此外,还有一个两层高的木化石体验馆,介绍世界各地的木化石收藏,以及在钟心广场上演的多媒体演出。还有导览团、主题工作坊和在露天剧场举行的各种户外活动,为您带来丰富的互动体验。
