Strolling through the campus of the University of Science and Technology, every step is an encounter with nature.
Entering HKUST from the north gate, tall trees lining both sides of the road form a green corridor leading straight to the Red Bird Sundial Sculpture. With its rich plant diversity, this is the most popular spot on campus for photos.
