Lonely Planet review

The space and serenity of this 60-hectare ecological park make it a wonderful place to while away half a day. Its nature trails, bird hides and viewing platforms are windows on the wetland ecosystems and biodiversity of the northwest New Territories. The futuristic grass covered headquarters houses interesting galleries including one on tropical swamps, a film theatre, a large café and a viewing gallery.

It's oddly pleasing to watch in silence as a kingfisher dives and then turns 180° to be faced with a bank of high-rise apartment blocks. If you have binoculars then bring them, otherwise be prepared to wait to use the fixed points in the viewing galleries and hides. To reach the Hong Kong Wetland Park, take the KCR West Rail to Tin Shui Wai and board Light Rail line 705 or 706, alighting at the Wetland Park stop. The park can also be reached directly from Hong Kong Island, from the Admiralty MTR bus station on bus 967.
