Lions Nature Education Centre

Lions Nature Education Centre, Nature education center in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.

The Lions Nature Education Centre occupies 34 hectares at Tsam Hang, opposite Sai Kung town, and its main hall is built as a courtyard with four corridors around a central garden. Three exhibition halls open off the corridors: the Fisheries Hall, the Agriculture Hall and the Geopark Visitor Centre. Behind the main hall stands the shell-shaped Shell House, and the white gable facing the road carries the centre's name in English and Chinese.

The centre occupies the site of a government experimental farm built in the 1950s and closed in 1986. In 1987 the government designated 24 hectares around Tsiu Hang as a special area, and a US$200,000 grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation funded construction. The foundation stone was laid on 27 February 1991 by Lions president William L. Biggs and fisheries director Dr Lee Hay-yue, and Governor David Wilson opened the centre on 8 June 1991.

The site displays local plant species across multiple gardens, including medicinal herbs and a tree nursery for learning purposes. Visitors can observe how these plants grow and are used in the region.

The centre lies east of Hiram's Highway near Sai Kung Town, on 34 hectares at Tsam Hang, opposite Tso Wo Hang. The main hall is built as a courtyard with four corridors around a central garden; the Shell House stands behind it. Trails such as the Tsam Hang nature trail link the outdoor plots.

The Shell House opened on 10 June 1998, sponsored by Lions Clubs International District 303, Shell Hong Kong Limited and the Environmental Campaign Committee, and inaugurated by Secretary for Planning, Environment and Lands Bowen Leung. Its shell-shaped building holds about 5,000 shells, from scallops and cowries to poisonous species, plus displays on Hong Kong's lime kiln industry, tree snails and corals.
