Hong Kong Wetland Park

　　  Introduction
　　  Hong Kong Wetland Park was launched in May 2006. Located in the northern part of Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, it includes a 10,000-square-meter indoor “Wetland Interactive World,” also known as the Visitor Centre, and over 60 hectares of wetland conservation area. It is the first park in Asia to feature such facilities.  The Visitor Centre houses three major exhibition galleries showcasing exhibits on biodiversity, civilization development, and nature conservation, each ranging from 800 to 1,200 square meters. There is also a screening room, gift shop, Wetland Café, Swamp Adventure, and Water Play Area for visitors to enjoy.
　　  The wetland conservation area includes man-made wetlands and restored habitats for waterfowl. The park is home to nearly 190 species of birds, 40 species of dragonflies, and more than 200 species of butterflies and moths. Indoor exhibitions feature common wetland flora and fauna such as the Malayan false gharial, Malayan box turtle, the locally unique Hong Kong paradise fish, and the Hong Kong cascade frog. The juvenile Chinese alligator “Pui Pui,” captured in June 2004 in the Shan Pui River in Yuen Long, was relocated to the park’s “Pui Pui’s Home” in August 2006.  Hong Kong Wetland Park is Hong Kong’s first major ecotourism facility and has also been awarded the Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Architecture Award.
