Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre is hosting the "Summer Fun Butterfly Garden Party",inviting shoppers to spend a relaxing summer while learning about butterflies through game booths and interesting experiences

HONG KONG,Aug. 9,2021 -- Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centreand Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centreare now home to the first butterfly gardens under Link REIT. Under the Nature LINKproject supported by Link REIT's Link Together Initiatives,more than 250 pots of nearly 10 species of plants favoured by local butterflies were transplanted to the outdoor spaces of the two shopping centres in early 2021 through a coordinated effort with the Environmental Association to create suitable butterfly habitats.

The “S.M.P. Butterfly Ranger” Adventure at Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre features a number of checkpoints,including the 1:30 giant butterfly insta-worthy spot. Participants will experience the life cycle of butterflies through play and explore the world of butterflies from multiple perspectives.

Coinciding with the completion of the butterfly gardens,Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre and Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre are rolling out butterfly-themed summer promotions,respectively named "S.M.P. Butterfly Ranger" and "Summer Fun Butterfly Garden Party". With summer being a peak butterfly season,children and adults alike will get to learn about the ecological value of butterfly conservation and the importance of sustainable development through games and workshops.

A multi-perspective exploration of the butterfly world at Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre

Making good use of both the outdoor and indoor spaces of Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre,the "S.M.P. Butterfly Ranger" promotion encourages shoppers to explore the world of butterflies through three approaches – skill,mind and passion.

In the "S.M.P. Butterfly Ranger Adventure",children will experience the life cycle of butterflies as they take on an obstacle course that demands agility and skills. At the end of the activity,the young participants can take photos with a giant butterfly installation on a 1:30 scale to capture and immortalise their moment of transformation.

On the third floor of the shopping centre,the three-metre-high "Butterfly House" opens a world of 3D optical illusions. Visitors will see different effects from different perspectives,and the 100 "butterflies" dancing above the chimney are worthy of a snapshot.

To further promote butterfly conservation,a game booth will quiz challengers on butterfly knowledge. On designated Saturdays,a special "Butterfly Eco Tour",organised in partnership with the Environmental Association,will visit the Sau Mau Ping Butterfly Garden and the Tai Po Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve for a close encounter with butterflies and nature.

In collaboration with the reading club Little Green Feet,eight "Butterfly Storytelling Workshop" sessions will be held on various Saturdays and Sundays to cultivate curiosity and passion among children through illustrated books and inspire them to join the ranks of butterfly conservationists.

Meanwhile,Sau Mau Ping Shopping Centre and Lei Yue Mun Plaza are offering shoppers an exclusive butterfly picnic mat for redemption.
