2. Ping Yeung Village White Pampas Field

Located in Ping Yeung Village in Plover Cove, there is a vast white pampas field that becomes both romantic and magnificent when the white pampas grass blooms. However, don’t assume that this type of grass is the same as what you usually see in Tai Dong Shan. Pampas grass mostly blooms from spring to early summer, attracting many photography enthusiasts to make a pilgrimage! White pampas grass reaches a height of about 80cm and is more commonly found in flat areas, while silvergrass blooms mostly in November and December, reaching heights of up to 2 meters and is commonly found in highlands. So, when you see them, remember to distinguish between the two.
