The KCRC even spent 1 million yuan to set up two "wetland viewers" in the ticket lobby on the third floor of Lok Ma Chau Station. Passengers returning to Hong Kong can enjoy the wetland landscape within a radius of 650 meters through the lens, which has an 80-fold magnification function , you can adjust the lens angle by yourself, and the lens scene will be played on the plasma TV.
