Yan Chau Tong Marine Park, Marine park in North District, Hong Kong.
Yan Chau Tong Marine Park is a coastal zone with mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and other marine habitats that support diverse fish populations. The protected area includes several bays and island groups where different environments sit side by side.
This coastal landscape took shape over millions of years through geological processes that created its mountains and bays. Today it functions as a marine protected area to safeguard these natural systems.
Fishermen in this area continue working with methods passed down through generations, visible in designated zones where traditional practices remain part of daily life. This living connection to the sea reflects Hong Kong's maritime heritage.
The area is best explored by boat from public piers, with guided tours available to help navigate the waters. Bring suitable clothing for water and weather, and check tide times as they affect access and the best times to visit.
The area holds all eight true mangrove species found in Hong Kong, with large stands at river mouths throughout the zone. This rare concentration makes it crucial for preserving these plants.
