I chose to draw the fish pond, the Bauhinia flower garden and the Hong Kong harbor with my team.

1. Gold fish live in the lotus pond, and are loved by Hong Kong citizens and Asians as a symbol of good fortune. I believe the people can have a new visual sense and peace of mind when they see my fish pond.

2. The Bauhinia flower garden I drew has the flowers that are loved by Hong Kong citizens covering the cement stairs. They give warmth and create a bright atmosphere.

3. There are still traditional junk boat in Hong Kong harbor. They attract not only foreigners but also modern folks. The attractive boat connects the old Hong Kong with the modern metropolis that it has become today. 

1. 魚塘：居於荷塘的金魚，廣受香港大眾喜愛，在亞洲人心中亦是幸運的象徵，我相信觀眾可以得到全新的觀感及祥和的心情。

2. 洋紫荊花園：以香港人喜愛的市花洋紫荊繪在階梯上，給人一種溫暖和歡快的氣氛。

3. 香港維港：維多利亞港上的傳統中式帆船除了是外地遊客必看景點外，亦能吸引年輕一輩，這些帆船能把香港的古與今緊緊連繫在一起。
