Yuen Long District, Administrative district in New Territories, Hong Kong

Yuen Long District spans 138 square kilometers across northwestern Hong Kong, containing the largest alluvial plain and numerous established residential communities.

Archaeological evidence indicates human settlements in Yuen Long District date back 3,500 years, with the Tang Clan establishing significant presence in Kam Tin.

The district maintains several traditional walled villages where residents celebrate the Tin Hau Festival with processions to Tai Shu Ha Tin Hau Temple.

An extensive public transportation network connects Yuen Long to other Hong Kong areas through multiple bus routes and MTR railway services.

The Mai Po Marshes within Yuen Long serve as a crucial stopover for migratory birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway.
