Three-quarters of Hong Kong is country park, and it shows. Wild boar wander into housing estates, barking deer and porcupines live on the hills above Kowloon, macaques own the Kam Shan reservoirs, and Burmese pythons turn up in village gardens. Mai Po's wetlands hold tens of thousands of wintering birds including avocets, cormorants and black-faced spoonbills, Chinese white dolphins survive in the waters off Lantau, and the Deep Bay mudflats have horseshoe crabs and mudskippers.
Hong Kong packs 7.5 million people onto a fraction of its land and leaves the rest to hills, reservoirs and coast. The result is a city where a hiker on the Wilson Trail can meet a barking deer in the morning and a boar in the car park at dusk, and where a two-metre python in a Sai Kung garden makes the news twice a year.
Mai Po, the Ramsar wetland on the Shenzhen border, is one of East Asia's great bird sites, and the Deep Bay shore next to it still has horseshoe crabs. Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden in the Tai Po hills rehabilitates confiscated and injured animals and is the place to see species the city cannot show you wild.
Kenapa lokasi ini penting
Halaman lokasi yang baik menjelaskan kenapa tempat ini layak dikunjungi, bukan hanya nama-nama yang cocok dimasukkan ke checklist destinasi.
Mai Po and Deep Bay host several hundred black-faced spoonbills each winter, once a quarter of the world total, and sits beside one of the fastest-growing cities on Earth. Counts there have mattered for 40 years, and the wetland is the reason the spoonbill came back from 300 birds.
The Chinese white dolphins of the Pearl River estuary have fallen from around 150 in Hong Kong waters to a few dozen under airport expansion and the bridge to Macau. Every sighting logged off Lantau is part of the record.

Tips spotting
Tips ini dibuat agar halaman ini benar-benar berguna di lapangan, bukan hanya enak dibaca di layar.
- 01Mai Po needs a permit; book through WWF Hong Kong and time your visit for a high tide between November and March so the waders push into the boardwalk hides.
- 02Hike the Kam Shan or Shing Mun reservoir paths early; macaques are guaranteed, and keep plastic bags out of sight because they associate them with food.
- 03Check Ha Pak Nai at a low spring tide in summer for horseshoe crabs and mudskippers, and stay for the sunset over Deep Bay.
- 04Kadoorie Farm in Tai Po shows the species the city cannot: rescued pythons, leopard cats, birds of prey and pangolins, plus wild lanternflies and atlas moths on its grounds in summer.

What wildlife is there in Hong Kong?
Wild boar, barking deer, porcupines, macaques, civets, leopard cats and pangolins in the country parks; Burmese pythons and Chinese cobras on the hills; tens of thousands of wintering birds including black-faced spoonbills, avocets and cormorants at Mai Po; Chinese white dolphins off Lantau; and horseshoe crabs, mudskippers and fiddler crabs on the Deep Bay and Lantau mudflats.
What animals can be found in Hong Kong?
Around 55 mammal species, over 550 birds, 80-plus reptiles including 50 snakes, and a huge insect fauna with 240 butterflies and 120 dragonflies. The ones residents meet most are boar, macaques, pond herons, geckos, lanternflies and the occasional python.
Are wild boar in Hong Kong dangerous?
Rarely. Boar bites and charges happen a few times a year, nearly always involving feeding or cornering an animal. Keep your distance, never feed them and keep dogs leashed, and they trot off.
Can you still see pink dolphins in Hong Kong?
Yes, on boat trips from Tai O or Tung Chung to the waters off northwest Lantau, where Chinese white dolphins are seen on most trips. The population has fallen sharply, so choose an operator that follows the code of conduct and keeps its distance.
