When a typhoon strikes, one of the best places to be is Hong Kong harbour with its sheltered anchorage.
當臺風襲來時，香港因其遮蔽的停泊所而成為最佳泊地之一。
A centre of international trade, the city is famous for its jumble of skyscrapers and its bustling commercial centre.
作為一個國際貿易中心，她以參差錯落的摩天大樓和熙攘擁擠的商業中心聞名。
But there's a side to Hong Kong that's less well known. Behind the urban sprawl lies a swathe of wetlands which include the Mai Po Nature Reserve.
但香港還有鮮為人知的一面。在這個盲目擴張的城市之中坐落著一片濕地，其中就包括米埔野生動物保護區。
Managed principally for the benefit of migrating birds, the reserve maintains a series of traditional prawn farms, known as gei wais, and their adjoining mangroves and mudflats.
這里主要用于保護候鳥。此外還保存著許多傳統的蝦塘，也就是基圍，還有毗鄰的紅樹林和泥灘。
Every two weeks from November to March, one of the gei wais is drained by opening up the sluice gates.
從11月到3月份，每兩周就會打開一個基圍塘的水閘排水。
