In the heart of Hong Kong’s bustling urban landscape lies a secret: over 240 species of butterflies 🦋 fluttering through suburbs that make up nearly 75% of its land! With lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems, this vibrant city proves that nature and city life can coexist beautifully 🌏.
Why It Matters: The latest episode of ‘Journeys in Nature: Bauhinia and Lotus Series’ dives into Hong Kong’s surprising biodiversity. From hidden valleys to coastal wetlands, the documentary showcases how wildlife thrives alongside skyscrapers and busy streets 🌆. Think of it as ‘Planet Earth’ meets K-drama scenery—but 100% real!
Urban Jungle, Natural Wonders: ‘Butterflies here are like nature’s influencers,’ says the episode, highlighting their role in pollination and ecosystem health. The series also revisits Episode 1, where free-roaming bovines stole the show 🐂. Spoiler: No traffic jams for these locals!
Hong Kong’s mix of mountains, wetlands, and gardens creates a sanctuary for species rarely seen in metros. It’s a reminder that even in fast-paced cities, nature finds a way 🌱.
