Yuen Long, Urban settlement in New Territories, Hong Kong.

Yuen Long extends across an alluvial plain of 138 square kilometers, bordered by mountains on three sides in northwest New Territories.

The Tang and Man clans established the first settlements in this region during the Song Dynasty between 960 and 1279.

The district maintains numerous walled villages, ancestral halls, and study centers that reflect traditional Chinese architectural practices.

The Ping Shan Heritage Trail connects multiple historical structures and provides educational signs explaining the significance of each location.

Mai Po Nature Reserve within Yuen Long hosts thousands of migratory birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway from October to May.
