Immerse yourself in the mountains, listen to the story of ‘Little Fish’, appreciate the beauty of sound and rhythm, and feel the joy of being present. This journey combines the “Little Fish” story, written by the Chairman of Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Andrew McAulay, with the musical arrangement of singing bowl facilitators from Apllpamama. Arriving at the peak of Kwun Yum Shan at sunset, bask in the wonder of a singing bowl performance and bathe your heart in nature.
Participants will walk from the lower area of KFBG (altitude: 180 metres) up to the summit of Kwun Yum Shan (altitude: 552 metres). It will take about 90 minutes of slow walking to arrive at the summit. As there is some mild exertion involved with walking uphill, this workshop is probably not suitable for people who have heart problems, high blood pressure or knee problems. Also, all participants are requested to respect other participants by maintaining silence throughout the journey.
