Wetland Park

Hong Kong Wetland Park is a world-class conservation, education and tourism facilities, located at the northern part of Tin Shui Wai, in Yuen Long. It was intended to be an ecological mitigation area for the wetlands lost due to Tin Shui Wai New town development.

In 1998, a project named International Wetland Park and Visitor Centre Feasibility Study was initiated by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department and the Hong Kong Tourism Board with a view to expanding the EMA to a wetland ecotourism attraction. After concluding that it was feasible to develop a Wetland Park at the EMA site without compromising its intended ecological mitigation functions and the development of the Wetland Park will also enhance the ecological function of the EMA to a world-class conservation, education and tourism facility, the concerned parties started the Wetland Park Project, which is one of the Millennium projects by the Administrations.
