Hong Kong Wetland Park
Hong Kong Wetland Park is a world-class ecotourism park that's a fantastic spot to enjoy some of Hong Kong’s unique flora and fauna. The park is also home to an impressive cast of wildlife, including birds, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, reptiles and fish. A visitor centre — Wetland Interactive World — and a 60-hectare Wetland Reserve will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of this ecosystem as you appreciate the beauty of nature and explore the amazing wildlife.
Wetland Interactive World
Inside Wetland Interactive World there are themed exhibition galleries, 3D cinema and trick art, a theatre and the Swamp Adventure indoor play area. The exhibitions showcase the importance of wetlands conservation and provide a hands-on experience of being a wetlands reporter. You can also take snapshots to capture fond memories with wetland celebrities. Just make sure you watch out for the singing fish!
Wetland Reserve
The outdoor Wetland Reserve comprises recreated wetland habitats specially designed for waterfowl and other wildlife. Other features include Stream Walk, Mangrove Boardwalk, Butterfly Garden and three bird hides that bring you closer to the habitats and wildlife. Don’t miss the refurbished home of celebrity crocodile Pui Pui and the new boardwalk connecting Fishpond Hide and the Wildside Walk!
Did you know?
First sighted at Shan Pui River in the northwest New Territories in November 2003, the then juvenile salt water crocodile is suspected to have been an illegal pet dumped into the river. She was caught by AFCD staff after seven months and named ‘Pui Pui’ — a name chosen out of 1,600 entries in a territory-wide contest, which means ‘the precious one’ and echoes the name of the river where it was found.
Visitors of Hong Kong Wetland Park can head to her beautifully landscaped 72-square-metre outdoor enclosure for a chance to spot her up close.
