About the event
Spring symbolises rebirth and hope. Nature composes for us a unique musical journey.
We invite you to escape the urban bustle and join us in the evening at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, where you can open your ears to the whispers of the natural world and learn to listen to the messages the land conveys. Feel the sounds of nature as you embark on a unique journey alongside owls, leopard cats, fireflies, frogs and snakes, immersing yourself in the stunning twilight scenery and the rich soundscape of the forest.
Peace and tranquillity arise not only from the environment but also from within. Around the spring equinox, as all beings awaken and vitality flourishes, we invite you to listen intently to the rhythms of spring, experiencing the flow of energy resonating between your inner self and the tranquil surroundings.

About the organizer
Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) spreads over 148 hectares of land on the northern slopes of Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong's highest mountain, near the town of Tai Po.
KFBG has a deep-set valley between two ridges, with a stream running steeply down through the forest. On the slopes there are forest, theme gardens, vegetable terraces, 8km of walking trails, 9km of roads, and conservation and educational facilities.
The Farm was established in 1956 to provide agricultural aid to farmers in need of support to help them lead independent lives; and to provide leisure and educational experience for the public. The theme gardens were designed and planted from the 1960's onwards, and through planting, natural process and protection from fire, what was once barren scrubland is now mature forest. Visitors are welcome.
KFBG's work and influence now spread far beyond the KFBG site. We raise awareness of ecological and sustainability issues, undertake species conservation and ecosystem restoration in Hong Kong, mainland China, Cambodia and Laos, reconnect people with nature, and promote sustainable lifestyles.
