Mai Po Marshes, Nature reserve and wetland in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
The reserve contains 380 hectares of wetland habitats including mangroves, intertidal mudflats, gei wai shrimp ponds, and reed beds along Deep Bay.
In 1995, Mai Po and Inner Deep Bay wetlands received international recognition through designation as a Ramsar site of ecological importance.
The wetlands serve as a field laboratory where researchers study migratory patterns of waterfowl traveling between Russia and Australia.
Visitors need permits from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department or must join WWF-Hong Kong guided tours to enter the protected area.
The reserve hosts over 60,000 migratory birds annually, including endangered black-faced spoonbills representing 25 percent of their global population.
