Nina Fossil Garden is the reminder and the educator about fossils. It is Hong Kong’s first and only urban oasis themed on tree fossils, with area of over 80,000 square feet and 127 rare specimens on public display. The longest tree fossil on display measures 25 metres. The Garden offers the community an opportunity to appreciate the importance of nature conservation through learning about tree fossils. This is Chinachem Group’s initiative in helping to raise the community’s awareness of the importance of protecting our natural heritage, thereby broadening the foundation for sustainable development. Caltite System has been specified for reliable and maintenance free waterproofing for the podium and pool structure above the public transport terminus.
