Hongkong - Few people think of wildlife when Hong Kong is mentioned. But hidden away on the border between the former colony's New Territories and mainland China are the Mai Po Marshes, 1,500 hectares of mongrove forests, mud flats and ponds which serve as a way station for 250 species of migratory birds. Different tours of the marshes are available and some of them include a walk along the old border, a visit to the World Wide Fund for Nature's Wildlife Education Centre, a stop at the Gei Wai Museum, which displays shrimp farming equipment. You may even stay behind after the tour to further explore the reserve. Find out more about Hong Kong sightseeing...
