Introduction

A wetland located in the northern part of Yuen Long District, Hong Kong, Maipo Wetland is rich in migratory bird resources. Many migratory birds from northern China and Siberia choose to winter here every year. The protected area of Maipo Wetland includes wetlands in Tai Lam Chung, Shek Shan, and Tsim Bei Tsui, as well as the mouth of Shenzhen River, Shan Pui River, and Tinsui Wai Drain. The entire wetland covers an area of approximately 1500 hectares. By preserving Maipo Wetland, Hong Kong can maintain its unique ecosystem, support local biodiversity, and attract more migratory birds to habitat and spend the winter.
